Greetings
A related question. I have need to open a cmd window of a specific size from wihtin
another application. If a short cut is created to the partictular application I
can control the size of the resulting window. However, if I attempt to call the
shortcut all the sizing and colrs are ignored.
In windows is there a way to contol the size of a window that is opend by another
application?
