Not sure what you mean by "when running a small console app". You can do the following though. Run your console app (not the cmd line), right click...(and all the rest the other guy said). When you click ok it will say "Do you wish to save this attribute for all console apps. with the same title". Or you can look up on msdn.com a function : SetConsole... something. Just look up SetConsoleCursorPosition() on msdn and it will be with a ton of functions for console apps.
It is possible.

EDIT: Fixed the source... I just tested the previous stuff and it seemed a little glitched.

You can. See the documentation for the Windows console API. You may have to destroy and recreate the console window to achieve your goal.
