Need help on command prompt setting

Hi, I often format my laptop and uses virtual machine as well. So I had a batch (.bat) file to change all windows setting through registry. This batch file also changes command prompt screen size, buffer size and quick edit mode. However this does not work on Windows 8 command prompt setting.

Registry use to change the setting are:
- HKCU\Console\%SystemRoot%_System32_cmd.exe
- HKCU\Console\%SystemRoot%_SysWOW64_cmd.exe

Just wondering is there any way to change the setting in Windows 8 using batch file?

Interesting, my registry shows;
HKCU\Console\%SystemRoot%\_System32_WindowsPowerShell_v1.0_powershell.exe
and
HKCU\Console\%SystemRoot%\_SysWOW64_WindowsPowerShell_v1.0_powershell.exe
..but I do find a WindowSize entry in both of those keys as well as a WindowSize entry in
HKCU\Console
Have you tried modifying any of those settings and changing your script accordingly ??

Another way---



A few changes:

Before I create this thread I had also try on the entry on 'HKCU\Console' already. Nothing changed.

That powershell is actually auto generated when installing something else that used to change powershell cmd. By default 'HKCU\Console' is empty, especially in Windows 7. So the key have to be self created. In Windows 7, the key will be auto generated when setting of command prompt changed and closed. But in windows 8, it is not changed.

By the way, command prompt running from start menu is a separate instance which I have no idea where the setting is stored. But if you run it manually from the '%WINDIR%\System32\cmd.exe' then the setting is applied. You may try with this setting.

- HKCU\Console\%SystemRoot%_System32_cmd.exe
- Create DWORD of 'QuickEdit' with the value of '1'
- Run manually from '%WINDIR%\System32\cmd.exe'

I don't think that is what I want. Because whenever I format laptop or install virtual machine, I need to reconfigure everything. So what I do is I create a script to help me automatically configure all settings such as 'folder option, power option, command prompt and etc.'.
