How do I change the command-line prompt in Windows?

Question

How do I change the command-line prompt into a console? I've been looking in the console functions API, but I could not find anything for it.

Accepted Answer

There's the PROMPT environment variable:

```
set PROMPT=$P$G
```

`$P$G` is the default value, giving you the usual `C:\>` type output. There are more format variables available here.
