It'll never work).

Okay, this experiment's gone on long enough.
The truth is, I used two very fun commands contained within Windows cmd.exe: prompt (which changes the text you see in the window - default is the current directory path) and title (changes the text in the title bar).

Oh, wait, it's a cooperative kernel. My bad.
