Bored with your command prompt? In a project I’m going to expand to wrap various complex Windows commands into simple ones, I decided to make a customized command prompt. The project is on hold while I work on others, but you can enjoy my odd command prompt…

It’s called the Tak Shell. Paste this into a file (”C:\tak.bat”):

@echo off
cls
prompt [$D-$T]$_[$P]$+$_-$L
color f0
echo Welcome to Tak!
@echo on

Then when you run a command prompt, type “tak” and it’ll bring you into a shell that looks like this:

If you’d like to have this shell in a shortcut, you could point it to another batch file (or command file) containing this:

cmd /k tak.bat
