Re: Setting Console Window Properties

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



Check registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console. If you customize a console
window and save settings, there will be subkey under that registry key. So
you can either edit those settings or remove that subkey. If you remove the
subkey, the console will then use default settings from parent key. When I
customized console prompt, I first customized one console windows and
checked what settings windows stored. Then I copied desired settings to
parent key and deleted the sub key. Now all my console windows are using
same settings just as I wanted.
