cypher_hacker,

Sorry, I have no idea about font colours in DOS. As for your other questions, have a look through Clear the Cached Run Commands (http://www.winguides.com/search.php?keywords=Hide&mode=or&target=registry&hits=25&guide=community>here</a>.)[/b].

Hope those help a bit.

You can make several changes for the MS-DOS window when using the icon in Start, Programs, but color isn't one on them in Win95/98 like it is in Win2000/XP. You'll have to load ansi.sys in the config.sys file:
DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\ANSI.SYS
and then load a prompt change in autoexec.bat [this is what I use for yellow text on blue]:
prompt $e[33;44;1m$n$g$e
ECHO OFF
CLS
prompt $p$g

This is the chart of colors you can use:
DISPLAY COLORS
Foreground Color Background
30 Black 40
31 Red 41
32 Green 42
33 Yellow 43
34 Blue 44
35 Magenta 45
36 Cyan 46
37 White 47

WinMe has to follow the same instructions given for Win95/98.

Guess I did leave ME off the sentence. I am now properly chastised./images/forums/icons/shocked.gif

Actually, I didn't intend to put 98 in it, since 98 uses the config.sys and autoexec.bat files even less than 95 does, but my fingers couldn't quit soon enough.
