Resize command prompt through commands

Modify cmd.exe properties using the command prompt Pretty much has what you're asking for. More on the topic, mode con: cols=160 lines=78 should achieve what you want. Change 160 and 78 to your values.

mode con:cols=[whatever you want] lines=[whatever you want].

The unit is the number of characters that fit in the command prompt, eg.

mode con:cols=80 lines=100

will make the command prompt 80 ASCII chars of width and 100 of height

Simply type

MODE [width],[height]

Example:

MODE 14,1

That is the smallest size possible.

MODE 1000,1000

is the largest possible, although it probably won't even fit your screen. If you want to minimize it, type

start /min [yourbatchfile/cmd]

and of course, to maximaze,

start /max [yourbatchfile/cmd]

I am currently working on doing this from the same batch files so that you don't have to have two or start it with cmd. of course, there are shortcuts, but I'm gonna try to figure it out.
