Yes cody but you are TERRIBLY(9999999.99999) wrong. This will change the command prompt text color PERMANENTLY whenever it opens; that color code is only for batch a majority of the time. Only a fool would use that method whenever they open command prompt...

What do you mean it is "only for batch"?

the color command can also be used directly from command prompt. People only use it in batch if they want their code to execute in a specific color for a little visual interest.

The popup window that it shows for popup text is for the windows like recent commands when you press F7, I have mine set to simple white background and black text. Default is purple text.

But I usually like to have mine as green or blue. Just right now I have it as white, and black background. I hate the grey they give you by default.
