Changing Default text color of Command Prompt

Love Matrix style console ?
The green text with black background is really cool is'nt it?
I'm gonna show you how to change the default color of command prompt, so that whenever you open the prompt, green text with black background appears, the default is white text with black background,

Color Constants

To change this boring default color, we have to change the value of a Registry Key.

Steps:

1) Hold down "windows key" + "R" key combination.
2) The Run Dialog Box appears.
3) Type "regedit" in the run dialog and press ENTER.
4) The Windows Registry Editor Opens up.



5) In the Registry Editor window press "Ctrl+F", which presents you with the find Dialog.


6) In the Find Dialog type "DefaultColor" and click on the Find Next button.


7) A screen Similar to the one shown above appears.
8) Now double click on the DefaultColor and change the value from 0 to 2( green ) or A (light green).



9) Press Ok.

That's all and you are done.
When you open command prompt now, you will see that the command prompt is now matrix style.
