windows 3.1 - Win 3.1: Run DOS prompt in windowed mode by default?


In Windows 3.1 when launching a dos program (.bat for example) it launches them in fullscreen mode (it changes resolution as well). There we can press ALT+ENTER to switch to windowed mode.


Is there a way make Win3.1 launch dos applications in windowed mode by default?


Thank you.


Answer



Open C:\WINDOWS\_DEFAULT.PIF in the PIF Editor (PIFEDIT). Under "Display Usage", select "Windowed" and save the PIF file.



(Be sure to read the information in F1 regarding windowed mode limitations.)
