Since the command window is your main tool in Server Core, you
should know how to configure it to meet your needs. Fortunately, you can easily configure the
command window to appear as you want, at least within limits. You can access these features by
clicking the box in the upper left corner and choosing Properties from the context menu. You??™ll see
a properties dialog box with four tabs. Each of these tabs is described in the sections that follow.
Setting the Window Options
The Options tab shown in Figure 2.3 defines how the command window reacts when you open it. The
Cursor Size option controls the size of the cursor, with small being the default. The Large option
provides a block cursor that is very easy to see. The Display Options determine whether you see the
command window full screen or as a window. Using the full screen mode when you have a number of
tasks to perform is easier on the eyes.
NOTE
Older versions of Windows let you change the display mode through a property setting.
However, Server Core doesn??™t let you run the command window in full screen mode by changing
the Display Options setting. This particular option is missing when you view the dialog box
shown in Figure 2.
