Title in new command prompt

It would be cool if Ctrl+Alt+P (Open Command Prompt Here) would do a "title <current-dir>" immediately. This would be handy to tell apart multiple command prompts automatically.

Yessss... only I don't know how to do it.
If you have the code handy...

From within the console itself you can change the title by typing
at the prompt.
Not sure if that is useful or not.
Cheers,

Did command prompts have the XY icon in them before?

I don't recall as I've only used it a couple of times...but when trying it out now, was somewhat surprised as it appeared that another XY session had opened instead of Command Prompt by looking strictly at taskbar...
BTW, I can't spot the keyboard shortcut for this in XY Help - KS page...I have it on wiki but likely needs to be internal to XY Help also.

Yeah, that XY icon wasnt there before. also in the taskbar it shows as XY session, but task manager shows it as cmd.exe. Neither of them bother me though.
Thanks!

Good work guys. Didn't respond earlier because the notification was classified as spam. Grr.

I do not really like the new XY icon for the command prompt because the command prompt opened by XY is a command prompt and not a XY session.
And I usually identify application by the icon in the task bar, then since the new icon for command prompt, I do not see the command prompts open by XY in the task bar...

Maybe a way to do it would be either a different icon totally (a smaller XY?), or XY with another color scheme, like green instead of orange, or similar.

Actually, I get the original command prompt icon here (XP SP2)... hm.

Tried several times, always exactly the same though...
