command prompt settings

Can anyone tell me where the settings for the command prompt are stored ?

I am fed up with windows just appearing wherever they want, instead of where
I want them.

I want to change the settings for command prompt windows that are initiated
by other programs (e.g. SETI@home), but cannot find any .ini, .cfg, or even
a .pif file for the built in command prompt. Presumably these settings are
buried in the registry somewhere.

I have googled for it, but can't find much of any use.

Thanks,

Stu.

Some of these settings are reached by.....
Start | Run | cmd | OK |
Right click the top border of the command window | Properties
Better off making changes there or in a shortcut to cmd.exe than in the
Registry.
Start | All Programs | Accessories | Right click: Command Prompt |
Properties

Here are a few of the locations in the Registry where this info is stored.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session
Manager\Environment

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Console

Open Help and Support and type: cmd in the Search box and look around.
