Note
Only original equipment manufacturer (OEM) code pages installed with Windows XP will display correctly in command prompt windows that use raster fonts. Other code pages display correctly in full screen mode or in command prompt windows using TrueType fonts.
As in MS-DOS, you don't have to prepare the code page.
Starting a program that is assigned a new code page will use the new code page, but if the new code page is assigned after the program (except Cmd.exe) is started, the program will use the old code page.
Example
To view the active code page settings, type:
chcp
The following message appears:
Active code page: 437
To change the active code page to 850 (multilingual), type:
chcp 850
If the specified code page is invalid, The following error message is displayed:
