Somehow, my Command Prompt windows were set to full screen. Now, whenever
any app runs a script or shells out, my entire screen goes black. I tried
changing the shortcut for Command Prompt to use a window, and also told it
to make that the default for all instances. When I run Command Prompt
manually, it always starts in a window, whether I start it from the shortcut
or use Start | Run | command. But even in apps I have written, when I
specify the shell to use a window, it's still full screen. The onbly thing I
can think of is it must be a registry setting somewhere, but I have no idea
where. Can anyone help? This is getting really annoying!

Oh, W2K Pro SP4.

TIA!
 
Open the Command Prompt window and press Alt-Enter. Right click the top
menu bar and in the Options menu select the Window Display Option.

I guess I didn't make it clear in my original post, but I already tried that
and it didn't work. Thanks for trying, though!
