In VB.NET, the output is a .exe file. Since I am new at VB, I am still only
programming console applications. For a console applications, the only two
ways I know of of executing it are to go to command prompt and type in:
testrun.exe

or, you can find the file in your computer and dbl click it. the first one
is not practical if I want to take it to school, and the second always runs
in a fullscreen mode. Is there anyway to set the default for running .NET
console applications in a window format and not a fullscreen format? Thanks
in advance.

You can change all sorts of properties for your forms including the starting
window state. In the form properties menu I think its called "window state",
set it to normal and then size the form however you want.

Sorry for my incredible stupidity, but where could I find the form
properties menu? Is it some I have to code into my program, or do I have to
select it from the toolbar or in the Control Panel? Once again, I apologize
for the inconvenience im causing you.

Well I'm not sure, depends. If you have a design window already (you have
already been designing a form) click view -> properties window. If you don't
even have a form yet go to project add form i think.

I hope that helps.
