How to set to Full window instead of smaller window.

[Bill]

Hi,
We run AutoCAD 2004 in win2000 pro.
When I open the text window in acad, it always opens to
the smaller "floating" window.
I was told by Autodesk that that setting is in the windows
registry.
What do I have to do to set this window so it initially
comes up as a full screen window?

Thanks
Bill

2 cent answer.
Since I know neither ACAD nor how it opens a "text window"...

_If_ ACAD is "shelling out" by invoking an instance of cmd.exe, then
it may be possible to do what you need via the registry at:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console\
FullScreen=

a DWORD type value. Set it to 1 (decimal).

I don't know why AutoDesk did not give you some specifics though or
whether this change is in fact the solution. YMMV

Thanks,
That didn't do it but that's okay.
In AutoCAD you hit F2 to switch from the graphics window
to the text window.
I think the keyname is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\R16.0\ACAD-
201:409\FixedProfile\Command Line Windows

And there is a String value named (default) and a (value
not set) and a String value named TextWindow.Position that
has a value of 184 180 840 562. DWORD that's named
TextWindow.Show that is set to 1.

Can you tell me what to add to get the FullScreen?

Thanks

No. I sugest perhaps an ACAD group or somilar site.
