Description of the new feature/enhancement

When opening a new CMD tab, the width of the tab is small due to the name of the prompt being small "cmd." This makes it a little uncomfortable, and if the tabs were to have a minimum width it would give it more space, specially when you're blazing through tabs and don't want to accidentally close the tab.

I think that the minimum width I highlited below would be way better than the smaller CMD tab.
