    Did you add it to config.sys or config.nt? It may only work when you're
    using command.com as your shell and not cmd.exe.

    I'm not sure I'm deciphering what you're asking here, but the Win10 implementation of ANSI is built in; there is no need to load ANSI.SYS et. al.

    ...in fact, Win10 doesn't care about CONFIG.SYS, either.

    That would be bad for a sysop that runs Trade Wars 2002 being it needs a huge setting for files = 155 to 200. Also being I don't know much about 10 but XP, Vista, win 7 and 8.1 uses config.nt

    you do type ansifile.ans and it does not work. you see the escape codes

    For 32bit Windows that support the 16-bit subsystem, it's:
    <boot>\CONFIG.SYS -> <windows>\system32\CONFIG.NT
    <boot>\AUTOEXEC.BAT -> <windows>\system32\AUTOEXEC.NT

    Of course, this stuff only matters for 16-bit EXE's

    If you have modern Win10, you open a terminal (ie: cmd.exe backed) and 'type foo.ans' and it will come out in all of it's glory as if ANSI.SYS is loaded. Again, it's built in -- similar to *nix terminals.

    For 32bit Windows that support the 16-bit subsystem, it's: <boot>\CONFIG.SYS -> <windows>\system32\CONFIG.NT
    <boot>\AUTOEXEC.BAT -> <windows>\system32\AUTOEXEC.NT

    Here is what I got out of all this!

    The files CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT in your hard drive's root folder are completely ignored by Windows 7. If they're there at all, it's only to fool really old applications that won't run unless they see that these files exist. The files config.nt and autoexec.nt in windowssystem32 are used, but only
    when Windows needs to start up an MS-DOS or Windows 3.x application. Any
    change to these files will take effect the next time you start the
    application -- you don't need to restart Windows.

    The autoexec.nt and config.nt files have been in effect for a long time. I remember having to mess with them on Windows 2000, and they've been in every 32-bit version based on the NT kernel. I believe they are invoked when using command.com also.

    All of the 32bit NT family handle it the same way.

    Sounds like you might have "Use legacy console" checked in your cmd.exe options.

    This stuff has been the default for a while though https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/2018/12/10/new-experimental-consol e-features/ (and many others).

    Same thing holds true with Windows 10 32 bit subsystem looks for the file .NT
    I got the same info off of Toms Hardware as the same in my A+ tests.
