Thread: Starting the System Console window immediately in a practical size

Windows opens the windows of important system consoles, e.g. the Computer Administration or the system services in a very small size. So you have to drag and enlarge the window every time. That is certainly not clear and in keeping with times.

In the view settings of the consoles, there is no option to save the window settings. With a trick however it can be done. Open 'Run' in the Start Menu, enter 'mmc' and click on 'OK'. in the Microsoft Management Console window, now open the menu 'File'.

Here, you will find references to the four last used system dialogs. For example, to customize the window for the ,computer management, select the entry that ends with 'compmgmt. msc'. 'services.msc' opens the system services; 'devmgmt.msc' opens the Device Manager. Should the desired system dialog not be available, you can start the relevant MSC-file through the 'Open'-dialog.

Now change the size and position of the respective program window as you wish and close the dialog. Confirm the enquiry with 'Yes'. it can also be that a note offers the update to a new version for this console file. Confirm this question with 'Yes' as well. Henceforth, every customized dialog starts with the new settings.
