Hello all,

I'm creating a shortcut to cmd.exe, and would like to have the "Command 
Prompt Properties" -> "Options" -> "Full screen" (radio button) selected . 
Is there any way I can do that with the CreateShortcut object ?

I've tried to google the solution, but for some reason "VBScript 
CreateShortcut CMD.EXE fullscreen" (or variations on it) doesn't give any 
related info back.

I (ofcourse) did find the "WindowStyle" property, but it gets overruled by 
the above setting. :-|

The targetted OS is XP pro.

Remark: After starting the command-prompt I'm using the (DOS) MODE command 
to make it truly fullscreen (and not some half-assed window).

Regards,
Rudy Wieser

P.s.
An(y )other method to script the the above setting is ofcourse welcome too. 
:-)
