@myselfidem, thank you very, very much for the reply. This is actually my workaround (I use a little BAT file int he Command Prompt autorun reg key - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\autorun - to set my network drive and change colors). However, my question to bensam is how he implemented this tweak, because CMD does NOT respect any custom settings put in its shortcut properties, so the tweak applied by RT7Lite is always active on ALL new CMD windows, regardless of whatever settings I choose as defaults... @Bensam, can you please describe what the CMD prompt color change tweak does and how? Thanks! You can use Start |Run and write cmd type: color /? Sets the default console foreground and background colors. COLOR [attr] attr Specifies color attribute of console output Color attributes are specified by TWO hex digits -- the first corresponds to the background; the second the foreground. Each digit can be any of the below values. If no argument is given, this command restores the color to what it was when CMD.EXE started. This value either comes from the current console window, the /T command line switch or from the DefaultColor registry value. The COLOR command sets ERRORLEVEL to 1 if an attempt is made to execute the COLOR command with a foreground and background color that are the same. Reg file for white color Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ; White color [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor] "CompletionChar"=dword:00000009 "DefaultColor"=dword:0000000f "EnableExtensions"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Command Processor] "AutoRun"="" "CompletionChar"=dword:00000040 "DefaultColor"=dword:0000000f "EnableExtensions"=dword:00000001 "PathCompletionChar"=dword:00000040
