All Windows console applications screen buffer size

Question

Is there a way to change default screen buffer size (count of scrollable lines before they become unavailable) for all console applications in Windows? Registry key or something. I don't want to set it for every console app I develop.

Regards,

You can do this easily through the properties of the console window. Are you asking how to do this through a program? I would discourage this, changing someone's global settings just to suit your own program is pure evil. — Mark Ransom, Sep 12 '11 at 17:48

 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console\

There is a bunch of keys in there you can adjust.
