Font colour (change?) in DOS prompt box

[Shark007]

I know i've seen a registry tweak here on the MSFN forums somewhere concerning changing the default colour of the TEXT that appears in a dos prompt window. (I've attempted several searches already)

The example colour along with the reg. tweak was green,

which IS the color i wish to change it to.

If anyone can direct me to the post,

or assist me with the registry tweak,

I'd be grateful

C:\>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 following values:

    0 = Black       8 = Gray
    1 = Blue        9 = Light Blue
    2 = Green       A = Light Green
    3 = Aqua        B = Light Aqua
    4 = Red         C = Light Red
    5 = Purple      D = Light Purple
    6 = Yellow      E = Light Yellow
    7 = White       F = Bright White

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.

Example: "COLOR fc" produces light red on bright white

Above command you can use in batch file or manually in a dos prompt.

If you want to make it the default color:

• start REGEDIT
  
• browse to this key:
  

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor]

• double click on DefaultColor
  
• enter the color as mentioned above (the two characters)
  
• export the key
  

Good luck!
