Great question!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">So, here&#8217;s a brief tutorial showing just a couple of ways you can customize the Windows Command Prompt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">1.) Open a Command Prompt window by typing COMMAND in the taskbar search and then press Enter when Command Prompt shows in the search results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">2. Right-click the Command Prompt title bar (the bar across the top with &#8220;Command Prompt&#8221; showing). Then, from the menu that appears, click &#8220;Properties&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2021\/comcom.png\" alt=\"Cloudeight - Customizing the Windows Command Prompt\" width=\"424\" height=\"263\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">3.) Click on the &#8220;Font&#8221; tab to adjust the font, font size, and font style (bold or not).\u00a0 When you have finished choosing, click &#8220;OK&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2021\/comcom1.png\" alt=\"Cloudeight - Customizing the Windows Command Prompt\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">4.) Click on the &#8220;Colors&#8221; tab to change the background colors, font colors, and other colors if desired. For this tutorial, we&#8217;re going to leave the font color at its default (white) and change the background color to blue. But if you like, you can play around with these settings to create a color scheme that you like and that is easy to read.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2021\/comcom2.png\" alt=\"Cloudeight - Customizing the Windows Command Prompt\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2021\/comcom3.png\" alt=\"Cloudeight - Customizing the Windows Command Prompt\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2021\/comcom4.png\" alt=\"Cloudeight - Customizing the Windows Command Prompt\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">And now you know how to customize the Windows Command Prompt. If you decide you went too crazy and the Command Prompt is out of control, no worries. Open a Command Prompt, right-click the Title Bar, and choose &#8220;Defaults&#8221; from the menu. Windows will show you the default settings and you can reset the fonts, sizes, and colors, back to their defaults.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"ms-editor-squiggler\" style=\"color: initial;
