How do i set the notepad file to open in the required size only,

Open only the notepad  window, right click on open spot of the taskbar and choose "Tile Windows Vertically" ( Make sure only one window is open when you do the above.)

Windows will remember the window size your prefer for notepad.

Control the Window   
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 <<<"You can control the location and size of a window with  the Title bar buttons,  (Win98, WinXP) or  (Vista) and by  dragging with your mouse. The shape of the mouse pointer tells you what action will take place when you drag. We have already used the  Vertical Resize on the taskbar. Here is a list to remind you of the possible shapes when resizing or moving.">>>

Dear Salmon Trout,
How to set the notepad window to the required size using command line/ batch scripting,

like setting the command prompt window using,
mode con lines=1
mode con cols=56

with start you can include mode so you can do just this, you shouldnt have to google a third party prog , I'm Unsure of the proper syntax but you can experiment with mode try typing mode 120,30

Mode can set the size of a command window, but how does that help you set the size of a Notepad window?

I'm Unsure of the proper syntax

Maybe you should have waited until you were sure?

Why does it matter?

You have been given several solutions.


Click the middle icon at the top right to control window size. One click and the size is changed.  Drag the the top left corner of the window to the size you need.

All  the suggestions given in this thread solve the window size problem.

Again, why does it matter?

He wants to set the size directly from the batch file when notepad starts.
