I'm running XP-SP3, and have both cmd.exe and TCC-LE.exe
When I run a bat file, it opens a littel cmd window, and if I click on
the maximize button in the upper right corner, it gets taller, from the
top of the screen to the bottom, but no wider. It's about 55% of the
width of the screen, but I'd like it to be 100%.
Is there a way to make it do that?
(I think it used to work that way in 98SE, and maybe even XP, for both
programs.)

In XP and earlier, Alt Enter make the cmd screen go full screen, and back to windowed

Right click on the title bar, one option is Properties, click on

You may have to change the properties of the window.

Not on XP - I made those discoveries back on the XP box.

I forgot to mention that I hanged the properties of the TCC icon to make
the window open maximized, but it made no difference.

No. The OP included the 4dos group which I don't monitor, and I didn't notice that it was crossposted.
