update command prompt?

Exactly what I was going to ask. How/why are you doing this? What could this possibly accomplish? What possible additions would you add to the command prompt? Can you accomplish this without modifying the prompt?

I want to know if you can update command prompt and if you can how to do so.

if what you mean is you want to see more features and capabilities of cmd.exe, then no, i suggest you use a good programming/scripting language.  Otherwise, i don't really think M$ would update. Or else you can switch to powershell...considered and "update" to me...

C:\>prompt /?
Changes the cmd.exe command prompt.

PROMPT [text]

  text    Specifies a new command prompt.

Prompt can be made up of normal characters and the following special codes:

  $A   & (Ampersand)
  $B   | (pipe)
  $C   ( (Left parenthesis)
  $D   Current date
  $E   Escape code (ASCII code 27)
  $F   ) (Right parenthesis)
  $G   > (greater-than sign)
  $H   Backspace (erases previous character)
  $L   < (less-than sign)
  $N   Current drive
  $P   Current drive and path
  $Q   = (equal sign)
  $S     (space)
  $T   Current time
  $V   Windows XP version number
  $_   Carriage return and linefeed
  $$   $ (dollar sign)

If Command Extensions are enabled the PROMPT command supports
the following additional formatting characters:

  $+   zero or more plus sign (+) characters depending upon the
       depth of the PUSHD directory stack, one character for each
       level pushed.

  $M   Displays the remote name associated with the current drive
       letter or the empty string if current drive is not a network
       drive.
