hi, i often see it on some linux distrux like archlinux that there is a console window in the backround (like cmd.exe) which shows what is currently going on, like downloads, i-net connections, process that start/end , etc

is smth like that possible on Windows 7 & cmd or smth similiar?
e.g. with a .bat file. or a .exe file which u can move into the windows folder and run it like notepad.exe

thanks
