There is setw() or there is:

CODE
cout.setf( ios_base::left )
cout.setf( ios_base::right )
cout.setf( ios_base::internal )


They are a bit fiddly to get the proper layout you want, trial and error.

I was also wondering if there was a way i could set the size of the command prompt to a default value. So the size of the command prompt will always be the same.

maybe even a full screen...

Here is a link to some things to do with the console:

Console Stuff

But you must remember they are only for windows, so if you are writing programs for other platforms they will not work.
