Can't get outta Full-Screen in V-C++

The other day at school I decided to make one of my programs full-screen and accidently saved that setting and now every time I try to build, compile, and finally run a program that I make now at school, it goes to a black screen for each button press for 3 secs.

EX: *hit build, Black screen 3 secs, back to form.

Obviously I know this is the case cause its Full-screen and the thing is, when my program was running, I DID minimize it and try to right click the window at the bottom but at school I guess cause of the security, you just can't do properties....

I even tried right clicking the EXE in the folder but its just Windows Default Properties like where its stored etc.


I know my prob sounds confusing to you people but I really need help. I didn't tell my teacher yet, I thought maybe I could do it some other way.

BTW, I tried like every option in Visual C++ (older one like back when Visual Basic 6.0 was big, same package) and I just can't find the fullscreen option.


Someone help

Are these console (command prompt) programs? Try Alt+Enter...that put the cmd prompt in full screen mode for me. I don't know if there's any settings or not in the VC++ IDE but maybe the cmd prompt itself is holding the setting regardless...

I couldn't find any full-screen settings in VC++...how'd you make it go full screen in the first place?

Well I made it full-screen when it would run and the window would come up. I right clicked the top and switched it to Full.

Anyone would tell me right now that you would just minimize it and right click the properties at the bottom taskbar.

Thing is with our school securitiy, you can't right click the bottom taskbar to find out properties, go on certain sites, run EXEs from Flash drives lol, etc.

So yeah I think i'm just gonna tell the teacher. It's not like I can't deal with it if there's no solution just I thought it was annoying for it to wait to build, compile, and run (think I got that order wrong lol). Its like waiting for a program on DOS to load


Anyway. Thanks for responding.
