Refreshing Lost Code Pages

It is possible for prepared code pages to be lost due to hardware errors. For example, suppose you had selected the Canadian-French code page (863) as the active code page for your console screen (CON). But, because of a hardware error, the active code page was lost. You can use the refresh keyword with the mode command to restore the lost code page for your screen, by entering the following:

C:\> mode con cp refresh
