In my testing, Windows XP, Windows 2003 and Windows 2008, by default,
have no support for coloured console output (along the lines of the
old-style ANSI.SYS for MS-DOS).

I use a program called ANSICON.EXE from Jason Hood (his site is
currently offline [1]). Full source is available when the site is up.

By use of a registry entry ...

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Command Processor]
"AutoRun"="C:\\Utils\\ANSICon.exe -p"


ANSICon loads every time you load a %COMSPEC%.

Doesn't support the entire ANSI set (keyboard remapping isn't
present), but all the coloured outputs works fine (there is a nice
example file showing all the colour combinations with normal and
brights foreground and background).

Regards,

Richard Quadling.

P.S. I've contacted Jason about the site, I'll let you know when I get
a response.
