Commond Prompt Portable

I installed Command Prompt Portable, ran it and adjusted some of its settings, including the cursor size (small), display options (window), command history (discard old duplicates), edit options (quickedit and insert modes), font (raster fonts 10x18, etc. When I exited the program, however, it did not save the settings I had made. I knew this because when I tried it on another machine, the resultant dos window failed to display my earlier settings. I think it would be handy if the programme could be made to save the settings the user made.

CPP is just a wrapper to run Windows' cmd.exe (or command.com) and automatically run a command or two each time. It's not a command interpreter of its own. If you change the settings of the resulting console window, it's saved to the registry. There's nothing CPP can do about that.

really?

The readma says: "The file
\Data\Batch\commandprompt.bat will be run on start." so I guess if you put all your changes in there it will work.

**Note**

If you're gonna change settings in the batch, you should probably throw a "setlocal" at the beginning of the batch to stop those changes from being saved onto the computer. May or may not work, depending on the batch.
