How to undo a certain command in DOS

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the ability to undo DOS commands, specifically after executing the "color 3d" command. Users confirm that while you can reset the color scheme using the command "color 07" to revert to a white foreground and black background, there is no general method to undo any DOS command once executed. It is noted that if a command is still running, it can be interrupted using Ctrl+C, but there is no built-in functionality in DOS to reverse commands after they have been executed.

Hi

Please have a look on the video. Is there a way to undo a certain DOS command? In the video I entered the command "color 3d", is there a way to undo this command and revert to the previous color scheme? Please help me. Thanks.

You should be able to issue this command to reset to white foreground against a black background - color 07

If the command is still running, you can stop it with ctrl-C, but AFAIK, there is no way to undo a command.
 
Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...
I have a quick questions. I am going through a book on C programming on my own. Afterwards, I plan to go through something call data structures and algorithms on my own also in C. I also need to learn C++, Matlab and for personal interest Haskell. For the two topic of data structures and algorithms, I understand there are standard ones across all programming languages. After learning it through C, what would be the biggest issue when trying to implement the same data...
