Customise and Colourise the Prompt

Hey guys, today i'm going to share with you on how to change your Terminal (Console2) prompt from the normal Windows prompt,

C:\Windows\System32>

into BackTrack like prompt

root@localhost:~/dir#

Requirement:-
1- Script.cmd
2- Intro.txt
3- Terminal (Console2)
4- Ansicon

Script.cmd
1- Open your text Editor, i used Notepad++, paste the code below and save as anything.cmd
2- Move it into C:\Windows\System32 or C:\Windows\SysWow64

32-bit

@echo off
type Intro.txt
echo.
prompt $E[1;31;40m%username%$E[1;31;40m@$E[1;31;40m%userdomain%$E[1;30;40m:$E[1;34;36m~$E[1;34;36m$P$E[1;30;m#
C:\Windows\System32\ansicon.exe

63-bit 

@echo off
type Intro.txt
echo.
prompt $E[1;31;40m%username%$E[1;31;40m@$E[1;31;40m%userdomain%$E[1;30;40m:$E[1;34;36m~$E[1;34;36m$P$E[1;30;m#
C:\Windows\SysWow64\ansicon.exe

Intro.txt
1- For Intro.txt , you can write anything in that text file as for decorating the prompt. In my case, i used the Alien Ascii as the prompt image. It's up to you what you wanna use.
2- Move Intro.txt into C:\Windows\System32 or C:\Windows\SysWow64

Terminal(Console2)
1- Go to Edit>Settings>Console
2- Fill the Shell TextBox to the path of your Script.cmd

Shell: C:/Windows/System32/Script.cmd

3- Just leave the Startup Dir empty
4- Now open Tabs and fill the TextBox to your script.cmd as well

Ansicon
1- Download Ansicon from the given link
2- Extract it anywhere
3- Choose weather x64 or x86 depends on your system
4- Copy ansicon.exe and ansi32.dll or ansi64.dll into your system folder

C:\Windows\System32\ or C:\Windows\SysWow64

That's it! Enjoy! :D
