How do I change the colour scheme on PuTTY?
Problem
I'm using PuTTY to SSH from my PC at home to Linux computers at work, but some of the text (folder names) is dark blue on black, which is almost impossible to read. How do I change the colour-scheme? My computer at home has Windows 7 in case it makes any difference.

Fix for: How do I change the colour scheme on PuTTY?
Click on the System menu at the upper left corner of the PuTTY window. Select Change Settings > Window > Colours. In the box that says "Select a colour to adjust", choose ANSI Blue and click the Modify Button. Slide the black arrow on the right up until you see a lighter shade of blue that you like. Click OK. Perform the same steps for ANSI Blue Bold so you can have a perceptible difference between the two. When you're finished, click Apply.
