Tales of DOS Window sizes and position - Know what is yours to control
Posted: 15 Sep 2017 17:29
There have been several topics about adjusting sizes, positions and fonts. This is to make it easier to see what you actually have to work with.
Here is what you can take away from this topic:
I am interested in how the subkeys are created. I'll try to document my actions to make them appear, and hope that the more knowledgeable can help.
Meanwhile, here is the subroutine:and usage:

Here is what you can take away from this topic:
- a subroutine to textify some registry DWORD values
- a batch script to display selected values for the subkeys of the HKCU Console registry entry.
I am interested in how the subkeys are created. I'll try to document my actions to make them appear, and hope that the more knowledgeable can help.
Meanwhile, here is the subroutine:
Code: Select all
:CoLines RegString Cols Lines -- returns columns and lines from registry string
:: -- RegStr [in] - variable name of the registry DWORD value,
:: where hiword is lines and loword is columns
:: -- Cols [out] - variable to return the horizontal component
:: -- Lines [out] - variable to return the vertical component

[Edit: this was solved within that topic], but the following shows the results of that query as well as some window placement and dimensions:acferrad wrote:No, FaceName for me is not in the key Console, it is in a key beneath Console called %SystemRoot%_system32_cmd.exe:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console\%SystemRoot%_system32_cmd.exe
This is the problem: %SystemRoot% has a backslash in it.
That was the output on one of my Win7 systems. [Edit: This batch script has been reworked for flexibility]:Output wrote:[Console] ScreenBufferSize 0xe10064 100,225
