Codepage change not reflected

I changed the default code page of my machine from 437 to 850 by typing following command on command prompt.
CHCP 850
But the new code page is not refelected. Any idea why?

I am using Windows XP Professional OS.

After changing codepage also when I typed ALT+181 on the command prompt it shows that character ╡ (which is codepage 437 character) but the corresponding character for ALT+181 in codepage850 is Á

The way to change the codepage is Start --> Settings --> Control Panel --> Regional and Language options --> Advanced --> Language --> Change it from English to French (Canada) --> Restart the computer
