How can make the console back to window mode?

(1/2) > >>

I was trying to have a better view at the output, so I decided to full screen the console. The problem is it now took over the entire monitor and the title disappear. So I can't turn it back. I already change the properties in command prompt but nothing change. I also uninstall codeblocks using revo uninstaller and then clean with cccleaner. After I reinstall it's still the same. I really don't know what else to do. BTW I'm using it on windows 7.

Thanks in advance.

Solution below
Find a short cut to the cmd.exe
Right click on short cut
Select options tab
Change display option to window.

I'm sorry if I misunderstood the problem. And think it's code block related. But even the solution you gave does not work too. And it's actually the reason I think it is somewhat codeblock fault.

If it is a CB issue the solution is likely to delete (or rename) the  CB config file(s).

In folder %APPDATA%\Roaming\CodeBlocks
The file name is normally "default.conf".

Edit: I was able to re-create your problem; but, deleting the CB config failed to fix it.
I still say the solution is a Windows solution; but, I can see why you think it should have a CB based solution.

Found the solution; but, it is NOT newbie friendly.
And, it is a Windows problem; but, one that it would be nice to have a CB fix or workaround.

When you changed the cmd.exe windows it resulted in a register entry under windows 7 32 bit for me.


--- Code: ---HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console\C:_Apps32_cb_release_cb_console_runner.exe

--- End code ---

My CB is installed in this path

--- Code: ---C:\Apps32\cb_release

--- End code ---

Deleting the entry fixed the problem; but, it is not something you want a windows newbie to do.
If you are a Windows advanced user; I have given you enough info to fix the problem.
But, that is NOT likely to be true. I will see if I can find a safe way for normal windows users to fix the problem.
