I remember seeing this before.
Does anyone know the reg key where I can change my cmd so that it will accept cut, copy and paste like normal windows?

I thought I saw it around here. I believe that it said that by default, it is set to not be a friendly cmd.

Any help??

Thanks!

Right click on the CMD shortcut and Goto the 'options' tab. Checkmark the 'Quick edit mode' and 'Insert mode' under Edit options.

Oh I forgot to mention that to Copy from the cmd prompt you highlight the text you want and right click. Then paste to whatever app you want. To paste get the cursor where you want it in cmd prompt and right click. Not sure if you'll ever use 'cut' in a cmd prompt.
