Command Prompt

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.configuration_manage (More info?)

Hi. On my new XP Pro machine I created a shortcut to the command prompt.
In properties, under the options tab, I can set it to full screen mode.
Full screen defaults to 50 line mode. Question. Is there any way to adjust
the full screen mode to 25 lines?

With my Vern Buerg LIST, I can [Alt]-[E][1] to switch to 25 line mode. But
only lasts until you exit the program, then you're back to 50 line mode.

I was thinking a registry entry somewhere. Any advice would be greatly
appreciated...Dennis

Go to the CommandPrompt Properties/Layout/ScreenBufferSize and set Height as
you need. Full Screen Minimum is 21 lines and maximum is 50 using the
default font.

Ah. It does effect full screen. 25 line looks real good. Thanks...Dennis
