    I know how to change the colour of text and bg in command prompt. But does anyone know what I have to do so it keeps that colour without having to set it every single time?

    Depends on how you're accessing it... if its with a shortcut, then right-clicking the shortcut/properties and you can set everything in there.
    Calling command manually, you could do something like:
    cmd /k "color 3c"

    just run the shortcut (or type "cmd" into the run box)
    right click on the taskbar of the command prompt, choose properties and then the colour tab. set your desired colours and ok it.
    then just choose to save settings for future windows with the same title

    Which version of dos/windows are you using - they are quite major differences between them and lots of ways of doing this - eg:

    In DOS you could use ANSI.SYS in config.sys and a echo command in autoexec.

    In most versions of windows open the dos prompt through the menu and right clidk on the bar to change the settings and MODIFY all short cuts with the same name.

    In 16 bit windows and windows 9x search for *.pif to find and then edit the settings (not much use really)

    There are registry settings to do this to .

    in XP run CMD.EXE /? at a command promt to see the colour options, append these options to the shortcut
    eg: cmd /t:1F
