   Using XP   
   Where are parameters for the window a bat file opens   
      
   Earlier, in one of these groups iirc, I showed how to make a cmd box or   
   a TCC/LE box fill the screen, and have a scroll bar on the right, by   
   creating an icon that calls either cmd or tccle, and by setting the   
   Properties/Layout Width to 240, or at least some value higher than 80.   
      
   And how one could change the background color and the font size in other   
   properties tabs.   
      
   That works great, except I have to start the box first and then type in   
   the name of my bat file.   
      
   I'd like to just click on the .bat file like I used to, but then it   
   doesn't matter what settings some uninvolved icon has.   
      
   So I figured it would be in Associations and I looked at Folder Options   
   / File Types to see what settings I could change for .bat files.   
      
   Well, it turns out .bat doesn't have an entry in File Types.  Neither   
   does .exe, com, sys, or scr.   I guess that's why they call it FILE   
   types and not EXTENSIONS.   
      
   So where are the parameters for a window opened up when one clicks on a   
   bat file.   Specifically I want to make changes to the layout width, the   
   background color, (maybe the text color), and the font size.   I know   
   they're in there somewhere.   
      
   TIA
