   Sorry, time limitations called me away in the middle of composing a   
   response. Yes, I have read the page, and understands what it says.   
   However, full screen works on my installation, hence, my "misleading"   
   comment. Microsoft's KB's are not always 100% accurate you know.   
      
   Not only does full screen work for me on Win 7, I can create shortcuts   
   to open cmd in full screen mode as well. This is contrary to the KB page   
   info. It would be nice if Microsoft provided a list of known programs   
   that do not run in full screen mode so those claims can be confirmed.
