How - Start DOS application Full Screen on startup?
 
Hi,

I have a problem with starting Command Prompt on Full Screen mode when
Windows starts.

I've configured that Command Prompt starts at Full Screen mode and put
shortcut in Startup folder. When my Windows starts Comand Prompt starts
also (in full screen), but after a short while he gets Minimized to
Taskbar (probably cause other apps are opening so Comand Prompt is
forced to diferent mode).

I can open Comand Prompt in full screen clicking it in taskbar, or with
ALT+TAB, but I want that Comand Prompt starts at Full Screen and stays
at that mode. (when windows loads all apps)

Is this possible??

How to force him to stay at full screen after all "startup" apps are
loaded?

Thx for answers!

that's very odd, why do you want command prompt in startup anyway? i'd
really like to know.

now, to address your problem, my safest bet is to delay the execution of cmd
prompt after all the other startup programs have finished launching, this
way, it will keep its' full-screen mode without any interferance.

you can delay it's launch by using a program like delayexec, using it you
can specify the number of seconds before it runs command, i say configure it
to wait for like 8-12 seconds(depending on how many programs you have
running in startup. make a shortcut to delayexec with the right paramater to
command and seconds and then add this shortcut to your startup instead of
the command prompt shortcut.

you can download delayexec at this link:(freeware)

hopefully that will work..i'd still like to understand why you need cmd to
run at startup.
good luck.
