How can I make a batch file launch in full screen? I'm using Windows 7.

Most people have told me: Right-click the file: Properties: Options: Select Full screen but my options tab doesn't have the fullscreen option.

I've also tried: Open cmd: Right-click the title bar: Properties: Options: Select Full screen but again, my options tab doesn't have the fullscreen option.

For some reason, I can't even Alt+Enter in the window to toggle full screen.

I have also tried using the command MODE CON COLS=999 LINES=999 but it just ran the file in a maximized window, while I want it completely full screen.

Does anyone know if there is a command or other solution for this? Thanks in advance :)

Is the batch file just running in command prompt, or does the batch file launch some other file/application? For example if you have a batch file that opens microsoft word, and you wanted microsoft word to open in fullscreen mode you would use the /max command:

cd "C:\(path to winword.exe directory)"
start /max winword.exe

If it's just running in command prompt I don't know how to make a batch file open itself in fullscreen, but you could just make a separate batch file with:

cd "C:\(path to .bat file directory)"
start /max (filename).bat
