How to make a batch file fullscreen? [closed]

Question

I want to make a batch file that when it opens it goes fullscreen, or if that is not possible at least be a bit bigger than it's default.

On which OS? Secondly this doesn't sounds like a programming question. — kenorb

Windows and this has got to do with batch PROGRAMMING so I think it qualifies as a programming question — Cool841

Try this

mode con lines=32766

This will change the buffer-size and also will make it full screen in terms of heights.

You can use the following

mode con: cols=[YourValue] lines=[YourValue]

Thanks could you please explain the actual command, like, what does lines mean and con? Thanks!

For example you can set mode con: cols=340 lines=140

I am not sure about the full form of con, but it could be Sort form of Console

Create a shortcut.

Go to Properties and adjust the size, colour, layout and other things...

Or do you mean when it runs...??

So..

mode con: cols=100 lines=40

doesn't work for you? Does for me (Win7)

use the start command :

start "" /MAX "cmd /K c:\temp\test.bat"
