This must be the weirdest Vista "trick"

Wanted to maximize the command prompt and found out ALT-ENTER doesn't work on Vista Ultimate anymore

1. Open an elevated-privilege Command Prompt window,
2. At the Vista Command Prompt, type wmic and press ENTER,
3. Click the Maximize Window button of the Command Prompt window (the middle button at the upper-right corner) to maximize it,
4. Type exit and press ENTER,
5. Right-click the Vista Command Prompt Title-bar and select Properties option menu,
6. Without changing anything, click OK button to close the Command Prompt Properties dialog box,
7. Type exit and press ENTER to close the current Vista Command Prompt.
8. Now, re-open the Vista Command Prompt window again (as in step 1), it should have automatically and fully maximized to fit your Desktop resolution!

You can just change the Width and Height window size on the Layout tab of the Properties page. I like 80x80 with green text on a black background.

True, but it is easier to just hit the full screen button :P :P
