How to make Unicode charset in cmd.exe by default?

by

After I tried algirdas’ solution, my Windows crashed (Win 7 Pro 64bit) so I decided to try a different solution:

  1. Start Run (Win+R)
  2. Type cmd /K chcp 65001

You will get mostly what you want. To start it from the taskbar or anywhere else, make a shortcut (you can name it cmd.unicode.exe or whatever you like) and change its Target to C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /K chcp 65001.
