That is the Microsoft(C)(R)-way-of-solving-problems(TM). I usually have a lot
of shells open(around 10), so that is not a good solution. Especially since
maybe only one of those 10 may need more than the 16kb, which is the default
here.

The correct solution is to do proper coding. I don't mind needing 4kb extra
stack, but a stack of 500kb is simply WAY to much. If a such high stack is
REALLY, REALLY needed, it should be set by the program, not by the user!
