Specify what commands to be run when opening a command prompt
When opening a command prompt it checks the following STRING values in the registry to see if any commands should be executed :
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER \SOFTWARE \Microsoft \Command Processor]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SOFTWARE \Microsoft \Command Processor]
Autorun = "prompt [%computername%]$S$P$G && COLOR 0A"
Note the commands above will change the command prompt and color.
Note to specify several commands seperate them with &&, or use a batch file.
Note the cmd has a switch to disable the execution of the Autorun :
cmd /d

Excellent post, spools. However, I believe it would be better in the tutorials forum?

Yes it is. I've actually just started exploring the new commands with windows 2000/XP. So many more. When I first heard about windows XP I heard that it was suppost to eliminate the command prompt all together. Then after it came out i realized that instead of removing it they just added onto it.

spools.exe: If you're just starting to explore more functions of the windows command line, I'd recommed you get the win2k resource disk. It comes with tons of useful tools.
You can download *some* of them free from m$, but not nearly as many as the disk has.
Many of them are actually just .vbs scripts, but work from CLI. Edit them to fit your needs.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000...it/default.asp
There is also a couple of extra tools on the win2k/xp disk in the \support\ folder.
Another good resource I've come to love is:
Windows 2000 Admin Scripting Little Black Book: A Concise Guide to Essential Scripting for Administration
Check out your local Boarders. They were selling this book for US $4.99. I've seen it on two shelves they put out front at different boarders. Guess they're just trying to get rid of it?
