Default 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!

As I understand your post, you checked "maximized" or "full
screen" in properties, but it changes later on its own, right? I
have no idea why, but:

There are many utilities (some free, some not) that monitor and
control window sizes and other aspects of the desktop
constantly, but I can't remember any names at the moment. Nor
can I guarantee they will work on a command prompt window, but I
don't see why they shouldn't.

Google for "desktop "window size" utility", no quotes except
around "window size", (or similar keyword combination) and see
what comes up.

I'll try to find something. I thought that i can resolve my problem by
changing some settings but as I see that I can't I'll look for
aplicatiom (probably free).

Thank you for answer.

You're welcome and good luck. If you can't find anything, post
again. I may have something in my archives so could perhaps find
a program name for you or something.
