| Data type | Range | Default value |
|---|---|---|
| REG_DWORD | 0 | 1 | 0 |
Determines how the system behaves when the user types over existing characters.
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | Overtype mode. Characters typed replace highlighted characters. |
| 1 | Insert mode. Characters typed are inserted before the highlighted characters. |
To change the typing mode, click the system menu icon in the title bar, and then select either Defaults to change the settings for all instances of that window, or Properties to change the current window only. Click the Options tab, and then select Insert Mode in the Edit Options group box.
Changes made in the Properties dialog box are effective immediately. Changes made in the Defaults dialog box or in the registry are effective the next time you open a console window.
Note
The values in the registry reflect the default window settings.
