Does anyone know why the 'COLOR' command might not work?

[Brian Hartin]

On my XP box, the COLOR command doesn't work properly. When run from
the command window, 'COLOR 1F' should produce a white on blue command
window, but for me it's white on red. On my co-workers box it's white
on blue, as it should be.

Do you know what might cause this?

Thanks!

color /? shows 1F as while/blue and it works on mine.

By the way, thanks, cute piece of info. Sorry no help, other than it
works here too.
