I have a couple of DOS programs installed on my WIN XP Pro system and they open with a "tiny" window. I know to press "Alt+Enter" to open them full screen, but I have to do this each time I use them... Is there a way to make the full screen opening permanent?
Eternally grateful for an answer!
Thank you,
Fred.

In the title bar of the "little window", right click and select Properties. Click Full Screen, click okay. You'll get a prompt -- choose Modify Shortcut... and click okay. Next time you double-click the icon, you should be full screen.
