Have you ever wanted to run the windows command prompt but realize that for some reason Microsoft has limited it to be at most 80 characters wide? Well, there is a way to bypass that limitation. After opening the command prompt run the Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line by issuing the command: wmic. Then make the cmd window full screen or resize it to the desired size. Then exit wmic by using the exit command. you shoudl now be in the Windows command prompt with a windows of whatever size you desire!

The sequences of commands should look like this:

cmd
wmic
[resize window now]
exit

I have tested, and can confirm that this works on both Windows XP and Windows 7.
