At invocation it's
sort of possible. It's not a good solution....
Code: Select all
@echo off
set title=somewindowtitle
set xpos=150
set ypos=150
set /a "pos=(ypos << 16) + xpos"
if not "%~1"=="%title%" (
>nul reg add "hkcu\console\%title%" /v WindowPosition /t REG_DWORD /d "%pos%" /f
start "%title%" cmd /c "%~f0 %title%"
goto :eof
)
reg delete "hkcu\console\%title%"
pause

Try this. Maybe it is simpler to follow.
It creates file.bat that shows hello world.
Run the batchfile with "remove" as %1 to restore the registry setting to how it was.
Code: Select all
@echo off
set title=My Dos Window
if /i "%~1"=="remove" (
reg delete "hkcu\console\%title%"
goto :EOF
)
set xpos=150
set ypos=150
set /a "pos=(ypos << 16) + xpos"
>nul reg add "hkcu\console\%title%" /v WindowPosition /t REG_DWORD /d "%pos%" /f
>file.bat echo.@echo off
>>file.bat echo.echo Hello World
>>file.bat echo pause
start "%title%" cmd /c "file.bat"

If you explain why you need to do that then maybe there is a workaround.
For instance you can change the default properties of cmd or just the batch file you are running, to open at a particular location with a certain font size, colour etc etc.
Right click on the title bar to change those properties.

On windows 7, the full-screen option for batch/cms windows is not present in the registry, and is therefore impossible to do.
On vista and below, pressing alt+enter will make the cmd window full screen.
