console: a great CMD.exe replacement application
tinjaw:
I'm not sure if anyone is familiar with Powershell, but it might be something to look at for some people. Also see Wikipedia here.
If you want massive amounts of power, that can do it for you.

PowerShell (once known as Monad) is not in the same category as a console window enhancement/replacement. It is a complete replacement for any of Microsoft's DOS or Windows command line interpreters. It is a full fledged object oriented system administration scripting language.
I have been telling every junior Windows system administrator I like that they should be learning PowerShell as fast as they can if they want to move up to a senior Windows sysadmin position. With PowerShell knowledge you would run circles around any sysadmin that works predominantly from through the GUI, as well as be able to get Windows to do things that you just can't do through a GUI alone.

For the interested, PowerShell runs fine inside Console as best I can tell :)

@Josh: you're right. I made the "mistake" to click on the download-link (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=43764) instead of looking at the project page (http://sourceforge.net/projects/console) :-\ sorry about that.

Works fine for me, but it's really a cmd.exe setting, not a console2 setting afaik... iirc on XP it's on by default, while on 2k (and vista?) you need to fix a registry setting. If tab completion works for you in vanilla cmd.exe but not console2, I dunno :)
