WG3, Unhiding the console?

A while ago, a friend helped me get WG3 setup. I'm a long time WG2 sysop, so i like the old style console, instead of the stripped down windows ui.
There was a method of turning the console back on, like a command line switch, or a cnf change.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks!

I don't remember the exact key, but for WG 3.x NT there is a key in the registry that you change from 0 to 1.. look under software and see what you can find...
Good luck!

Rock on!
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->SOFTWARE->Galacticomm->Worldgroup Server->CurrentVersion->UseConsoleWindow
Change it from 0 to 1.
Thanks!

Glad you found it quick enough! when i first setup wg 3.2 nt I used that to help me get a few things setup, but it was some time ago and forgot the exact key to use...
Good job!

Just so this never gets forgotten again. I've documented it.

I put worldgroup 3.20 on windows 7 to use as a test server and found that this fix for the dos window wont work on windows 7 or vista.
There is no key in the registry to change...

well, add the key,
the wg code still looks for the setting value.
