When I run any MSDOS program in Win XP (or Win 2000) that program not runs with 25 lines per screen. That happend when I in shortcut mark "Full-screen" mode. But when in shortcut mark that I want run program in "Window" mode and after runs program in window mode and after press alt + enter, program work in 25 line full-screen mode.

May I setup WinXP that run DOS program in Full-screen with 25 lines?
 
Hi

Once you have the DOS full screen up, at the C:\ prompt type:

MODE CON: Cols=80 Lines=25 and press enter.

Hope this helps!

MODE CON command work, but for every program you must run this command. What if I want start program with shortcut? I was try put MODE CON in autoexec.nt but not working. Is there some other solution, some WinXp setup program or third parity program?
 
Hello cegi,

What you can do is to make the preparation to the registry.
Code:
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor]
"AutoRun"="mode con:lines=25"
