Here''s something you all might find interesting. Take a look into the NT_CONSOLE_PROPS structure used by IShellLinkDataList. This appears to required NT+IE4 at the least.

The relevant registry key on W2K looks to be HKCU\Console\

Althought there appear to be limitations

As far I know in the "real" console you can´t change the font , but in VC++ console APP''s are "fake" (i don´t know how to say what i have to say in english but i´ll try =D ) They´re WIndows APP simulating a console APP so a think that in VC++ there will be a way to do it
