WindowPosition

HKCU\Console

Data type Range Default value
REG_DWORD Position There is no default value for this entry.

Description

Specifies the position of the command window on the user's screen.

The value of this entry is an 8-byte hexadecimal value. The first four bytes (high word) represent the position of the window on the Y (vertical) axis. The last four bytes (low word) represent the position of the window on the X (horizontal) axis.

Change method

To change the window position, click the system menu icon in the title bar, and then select either Defaults to change the settings for all instances of that window, or Properties to change the current window only. Click the Layout tab, and then use the Window Position group box.

Activation method

Changes made in the Properties dialog box are effective immediately. Changes made in the Defaults dialog box or in the registry are effective the next time you open a console window.

Note Image Note

The values in the registry reflect the default window settings.

If this entry does not appear in the registry, the system selects a position for the window. This is equivalent to the Let system position window option on the Layout tab in the Console Properties box.
