In Windows XP, when you make a change to the console settings (not just for the command-prompt, but all console apps), eg dimensions, colors, fonts, etc., it asks if you want to make the changes permanent, or only for that instance. This is quite useful because sometimes you only want to change it for that one instance, not forever.
In Windows 7, it seems like making a change always makes it permanent. (Note, I’m talking about the Properties
menu item, not the Defaults
menu item, hence the problem.)
Is there a way/setting to get Windows 7 to behave like XP in the this respect?
Interesting. It changes the current instance, but then all new instances inherit the new properties. – ChrisF – 2011-08-14T18:09:32.000
3Yup; it’s like the Properties option is equal to the Defaults option (and there is no prompt either way). – Synetech – 2011-08-14T18:10:17.803
Think you found a new bug! Call the mayor to shine the Microsoft flag in the sky... – Canadian Luke – 2014-03-06T20:58:18.260
