| May 30, 2020 at 19:13 | comment | added | Ooker | @DavidPostill but the generalized problem is still remained. Is it the only way to do this is via flag? | |
| May 26, 2020 at 19:52 | comment | added | DavidPostill Mod | @Basj I've reopened the newer question for you. | |
| May 26, 2020 at 19:49 | comment | added | Basj | @DavidPostill The answer I wanted to post is for Windows 7. If I post a new question about "how to full screen cmd.exe in Windows 7" it would be closed as duplicate too, so it's probably not the best option to create one more duplicate. | |
| May 26, 2020 at 19:25 | comment | added | DavidPostill Mod | "I would like to post a new answer" Presumably you are running Windows 10 (where cmd behaves differently anyway as I understand). There is nothing stopping you creating a new question and answering it yourself. | |

| May 26, 2020 at 16:30 | comment | added | Basj | "I am hesitant to reopen the question since it already has several answers": why? There is no reason to limit number of answers (the number is low by the way), if there are multiple ways to achieve something. | |
| May 26, 2020 at 16:28 | comment | added | Basj | We don't need Grammerly @Ramhound, it's fine like it is: fully understandable. By the way, superuser.com/questions/7219/… is not better in terms of wording. But the problem is elsewhere: the first is a general question and the second is a vista-specific question, so it's a bit weird to keep the duplicate like this in this context. | |
| May 26, 2020 at 16:25 | comment | added | Ramhound | How do I full-screen my CMD? doesn't have grammatical error, but it isn't written well, and it also contains a request for the community to request a replacement to the command prompt. The title needs some work since it's not even proper English (IMO). I am hesitant to reopen the question since it already has several answers. It certainly could be turned into a well written question with some work, but after doing so on Grammerly, there wasn't much of the original author's words. | |

I haven't seen so many typos @Ramhound. If there are, we can easily edit them. But forcing a general question (valid for Windows 7, 8, Vista, etc.) to be closed as duplicate of a Vista-specific question is weird: I'd like to post an answer, but I've never used Vista, I don't even know if it would work for Vista, and it makes no sense anyway. About the title: "my CMD" is a reference to cmd.exe, I think it's valid.
