Hi, all the time, when say for example I compile some code, (visual studio), netbeans and other programs are maybe installing, cmd window always full screens itself, how do i reset it to be ordinary and not full screen, thankyou.
 
Try right-clicking on the blank space of the Windows Title Bar, select Properties, and then have a look at the options available under the Layout tab.
 
Alt+Enter?

----------------------------------
Ignorance is not necessarily Bliss, case in point:
Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.
 
Hi, thanks for the replies but they were not the type of answers i was looking for, because even I change the size properties on window it always becomes full screen on all other applications who use cmd, how do I reset all the cmd's to stop doing this and display a normal sized window.
 
Have a look at both the Command.com and Cmd.exe windows when launched from the Start Run box. In both instances have a look at the right-click "Default" and "Properties" options for reaching the "Layout" property page. Are the any differences in either of those 4 settings as to how the DOS windows display?
