    I don't know any code for it but you can push Alt-Enter.
    My computer is awesome.

    gg

    [EDIT]
    In the AltEnter() function remove the line "SetForegroundWindow(GetConsoleWindow());"

    GetConsoleWindow() is only available under XP and 2000 Server.

    In the console, you could try this, but it isn't very good and doesn't take into account different screen resolutions.
    Code:
    system("mode con:lines=100);
    system("mode con:cols=200);
    Another way you could do it would be to include the directX lib files and use them, but thats slightly more complicated
