Console text mode under WinXP
-
How can I set fullscreen text mode od console window to 80x25 under winXP??? The default (when you execute cmd.exe and toggle fullscreen) is 80x50, but some old DOS programs don't set 80x25 and they look pretty silly. I have managed to do this once time, but it's very long ago :) And i totally forgot how have I done it :(( I think, that it might be done with some command, but I'm not sure...

Yeah, but i meant fullscreen window. And this doesn't exactly set text mode of command line in fullscreen. Daniel Balas - Student
In the command window press ALT+Return

In the command window press ALT+Return

But when you enable it, the mode is usually changed to 80x50 fullscreen, but I want 80x25 mode :). Under Win9x the default fullscreen mode was 80x25, but under XP it isn't :) Daniel Balas - Student

I got your solution. open a console window in normal mode, right click on the control box, the properties. On the "Options" tab, select "Full Screen" in "Options", then move to the "Fonts" tab and select whatever you want. Once all is done, Press ALT-Return :) Free your mind...
