Full Screen Command Prompt in Windows 7.


I am sure that many of us may know this trick. But I think the small form of command prompt may be still annoying some people. This will be helpful for those who don't know how to enable full screen command prompt in windows 7.


Just follow these simple steps :

  1. Open the Command Prompt.
  2. Enter the command wmic & hit Enter.
  3. Click the maximize button to get a real full screen window of Command Prompt.
  4. Right click the maximized Command Prompt window title bar and select “Properties“, tick the “Quick edit mode” check-box followed by clicking OK button.
  5. Close the Command Prompt window (ie execute exit command twice to exit from WMIC as well as cmd.exe).
  6. Open the Command Prompt again. Hurray! U r Done!! The Command Prompt that will appear before you will be in full screen mode.

Login to your Facebook account with different passwords.



As we all know that we can login to our facebook accounts by different usernames like your email id, registered mobile no. or your username. But do you know that we can also login to our accounts by using different passwords. Yes, its true. I found it on a blog. We can use three different passwords to login.

  1. The main password that you use to login.
  2. Now if u toggle your password between upper case & lower case then also it will work fine. Say, if your password is "ItsMeSumit" then if you toggle the cases as "iTSmEsUMIT" then also it will work.
    This facility is provided by facebook because in case, your caps lock is accidentally on then the password typed by you will be toggled. So, facebook allows these type of human errors.
  3. If your password starts with a lower case character, then if u type the first character in upper case, then also it will work. Say, if your password is "itsmesumit" then "Itsmesumit" will also work. This facility is provided to resolve the issue with some handheld devices. Since some mobiles automatically convert the first character you type to the upper case.

Introducing Command Prompt option to the Right-Click Menu.

This will be helpful especially to the programmers who use the command prompt too often. You can do this by simply editing your registry.

  2. Enter "regedit" and hit Enter
  3. Expand to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\DesktopBackground\Shell"
  4. Right-click on "Shell" and select New > Key
    Make sure a new key is created under "shell". Change the name of this key to "Command Prompt"
  5. Right-click on this new key "Command Prompt" and select New > Key
    Change the name of this key to "command"


  6. Double-click on the "(Default)" text on the right window to bring up the edit box
  7. Enter this text into the Value Data field : cmd.exe
  8. Click OK and close the registry.

**Try this at your own risk**
