The Command Prompt and its commands

Here's where to find a list of commands for Command Prompt, for whichever operating system you are using. And Yes, Virginia, you can change its colors...
for example, like this...

 
Rather than doing this with numbers from within CMD Prompt, I've just found an easier way, and it changes the defaults instead of only temporarily as above.
 
*Open CMD Prompt, and right-click on its name in the title bar for a drop-down.
 
*Choose Defaults, the second from the bottom of the list, and click on it.
 
 
 
* Select the Color tab, choose your colors, and when done, click OK. These will be your new default colors.
 
 
 
While on the subject of CMD Prompt, just in case anyone isn't aware of this, if there is something in there that you would like more information on, or a more complete description of it or what it does or how to use it, just enter its name after the cursor, leave one space, then add a forward slash followed by a question mark, as in /? and that will bring up answers.
