Windows 10 and FilePro desktop icon properties

Hi,

   I just moved to Windows 10, and I think I need to adjust some properties
in the desktop icon for the shortcut to FilePro.  Here is the situation
after switching to Windows 10:  (1) when I click on the desktop icon,
FilePro opens in full screen mode and displays properly; (2) if I want
FilePro in just a window (as I did under Windows 7), rather than occupying
the full screen, I can try clicking on the Windows "restore down" icon but
the result is an unusable display - there are blank black rows between every
real row of text, and the entire FilePro menu screen cannot be seen at the
same time, nor will scrolling get to all parts of it; (3) if I start a DOS
command window first, then execute fulldev.bat, everything is pretty much
back to normal, and I am okay.  I can work with FilePro in a window, and not
have it covering the entire screen.

 

  So that led me to think that there must be some property setting(s) in the
desktop icon for the shortcut to FilePro that need(s) to be changed for
Windows 10, but after trying a few things unsuccessfully, I decided to find
out if anybody else has already run into this.   I don't know if this
matters, but when installing Windows 10 , I opted to NOT use the express
settings, and instead took the 'custom' route and pretty much declined all
the things Microsoft wanted to do to supposedly make my life easier.
