Starting Windows Terminal in Full-Screen Mode

ID: Q75755

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a, 3.1, 3.11

SUMMARY

Using the WIN.INI switch MAXIMIZED=1 under the [TERMINAL] setting in your WIN.INI file permits Terminal to start in full-screen mode.

MORE INFORMATION

To use this switch, follow these steps:

Locate the [TERMINAL] section in the WIN.INI file.

Add the line
MAXIMIZED=1
to this section, and then save the WIN.INI file.

To allow the updated WIN.INI file to be re-read, either restart Windows or force the file to be read by using a Control Panel utility such as Colors.

NOTE: Contrary to a PC Magazine article published on September 10, 1991, the MAXIMIZED setting only affects Terminal. It does not affect other applications, including Help, in Windows 3.1.
