How to Maximize Command Prompt

CMDHave you ever tried to maximize you command prompt? Is it maximized as the other windows? I believe it is not. It’s because by default, you can only maximize the Command Prompt vertically in windows. When you click maximize button, the Command Prompt will be maximized vertically.

To maximize the Command Prompt window both vertically and horizontally, you need to do a little tweak to your command prompt. To do this tweak follow the following steps:

  1. Open Run and type “cmd” (without quotes) then then press enter to open Command Prompt.
  2. Run

  3. Right-click on the Command Prompt title bar and select Properties.
  4. CMD Context Menu

  5. On the Command Prompt Properties Windows, wwitch to Layout tab by clicking on it.
  6. Change the Width value in Screen Buffer Size box to your own value. In my computer I used 400 for widht and 300 for he height.
  7. CMD Properties

  8. Finally, click on the OK button to save it.

Now, try to maximize you command prompt. Does it work? If it is not, make sure you have change the value on the Screen buffer size box. The try it again. That’s a little tweak how to maximize command prompt windows. This tweak works on windows XP, Vista, and windows 7.

    Mas, apa yang terjadi adalah: walau sudah diganti buffernya, tetap aja emang windowsnye melebar, tetapi halaman command prompt, kepotong 1/2, alhasil cuman windowsnya aja full, tapi medan/bidang command prompt tetap kecil.

    Apa ya penyebabnya,

    Thx mas.
