my friend has a little problem with running console applications. In the school computers, during c++ class, he went to properties on cmd prompt and switched to full screen mode. He hit save for future reference, which means whenever he runs a console app, it opens in full screen.

The problem is that he did this on the school computer and he can't change it back. The c:\ drive is disabled so he can't go to to command prompt and change it, and there is no command prompt shortcut on start menu or anywhere else. Also, he can't right click on the start menu to go to properties and change back.(right-click on start menu is disabled).

Basically, he can't get to properties to change back to normal window size mode. If anyone can help, we'd really appreciate it.
