My cmd.exe registry settings are messed up for font, size, etc. Could someone tell me the default values or give a link to .reg file that will restore these settings? I tried looking for this on the Internet but I didn't really find anything.

Default CMD session settings are stored here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console
You can just delete Console registry key. cmd.exe will re-create it with default values (probably from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Console, but im not sure).
It is good habit to backup registry key before deleting.
You can also create new Windows user and export default values to compare them with your messed up settings to fix only some settings.

What do you mean by “cmd.exe registry files”? – Daniel B – 2015-01-03T15:17:52.000

I see. And lastly, which Windows version are we talking about? – Daniel B – 2015-01-03T16:05:17.750
We are talking about windows 7 – builder_247 – 2015-01-03T16:06:49.197
This work has been done by others here http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/19449-default-file-type-associations-restore.html , download the linked registry, open it in a notepad to see what is going on, and have a backup, then your all set.
