Change your DOS/Command prompt

Are you sick of seeing the same old prompt whenever you go to the "DOS/Command Prompt" -- "C:\>" for example?

Here's how to change it to something more exciting:

• If you're in Windows, go to the "DOS Prompt" or the "Command Prompt"
• Type
  
  PROMPT
  
  followed by the format characters for your new prompt (only a few format characters are listed below to keep the compatibility. to find out all the codes available to you in your operating system, type "PROMPT/?" without the quotes and press ENTER):
  
  
  $d -- current date
  $t -- current time
  $g -- ">" character
  $p -- current path/directory
  
  
  for example:
  
  PROMPT $t $p $g
  
  
• Press ENTER
