Start app.bat in fullscreen

[Beverly Archer]

Hello,
I am working with batch files and i want to know if I can run another batch file in an full screen mode. At the starting point it should not be in the full screen mode. After the script is been executed it should switch to the full screen mode. So, this is possible, if it is then please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
If I not wrong the batch files run in the command prompt window. So, this window can be set manually to full screen mode or the resolution what you need. Then what is the point of creating a script for that.
If you need to change the resolution of the command prompt window then you can follow these steps

1. Open a cmd window
2. Right click the title bar
3. Check full screen on the Options tab
4. Save settings

I hope this will help you.

Hello,
If you want this feature to try in a programmatic manner then you can use the following command in your script
See below

mode 200

You will have to add the this line at the start of your batch script, if you will add it in between the code then you will get undesired results. Also, if you are looking to switch between the normal command prompt window and the full screen window then you can use this short cut

Press ALT + Enter

Hope the information was helpful for you.

Hello,
See if the following code can help you

@echo off
set /p pswd=<pswdword.dat
set /p pswdword=Enter pswdword: 
if %pswd%==%pswdword% goto correct
exit
:correct
start file.bat
exit

Hello,
As you might being knowing now that if you need to run the batch file you need a command prompt window. If you need to do this by using the system programming then you can use the following line the the file, rather you can modify the file with the current line
Here is the line which you have to modify

%windir%\system32\cmd.exe /k file_name

Just right click on the file to make a shortcut and you will find a option for full screen mode, you have to check that option.

Hello,
I have an alternate solution for doing the same. I directly set the envirnoment variable, that is to say

nm=Start /max %comspec%  /k file.bat

The file.bat will have the code for the script. Now i create another batch file which will contain the content as follows

@echo off
cls
%nm%

Now, watch this carefully, when you are going to click on the startup.bat batch file it will invoke the environment variable and this variable in turn will invoke the file.bat in the full screen mode.
Have a look at the following code. This might work as well

Start /max file.bat
