I have made a little tutorial Cmd Tutorial on Vimeo on how to beautify this awfully ugly Cmd window. It is 7 minutes long.
You can go here at http://www.vimeo.com/3247151 to see it in FULL SCREEN.
The "Full Screen" control is on the bottom right of the little display window. For downloading, go to the bottom right of the webpage.
Note a small detail: towards the end I mention the UAC prompt window. But my capture program somehow did not capture it, although it was on the screen. It probably knows how much some people do not like to be prompted by UAC - LOL.
