In Windows, how do I switch the MS-DOS command prompt between windowed and full-screen mode?

If the MS-DOS prompt (also known as the command prompt) takes up all of your screen in Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, or XP, press Alt-Enter to switch from full-screen mode to windowed mode. The screen may flicker when you switch modes, but this is normal.

If you like having the command prompt displayed full-screen, press Alt-Tab to move between open windows.

You have two options for closing the Command Prompt window if it is not full-screen. You can enter exit at the prompt, or click the close box (small box with an X in it, in the upper right corner of the window). To close the command prompt from the full-screen mode, you must enter exit . Windows remembers what mode the program was in when you exited it, and will reopen it in that mode.
