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#
