Is there a way to change the default settings for the
command prompt window using the registry? (like font size
from default 8X12 to 10X18)

Thanks

You'll want to look at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console\
(and probably some named subkeys). Being mostly DWORD values you may
need to do some sleuthing to determine the value(s) needed.

Why not change them by right clicking the uppermost portion of the command
prompt window and changing the settings there?

I took OP to mean "default" settings for CMD.EXE and not shortcut
properties per se. But those shorcut settings are under the same
key...which might in fact be a registry (not s .LNK) modification...
