Welcome



Ive made this blog to show you commands you can use in command prompt and how to use them



Now, say you got here not knowing what the cmd prompt is?

Well, the cmd prompt is a console on windows operating systems that controls your computer, from it you can do anything on your computer, and saves the hard work finding where to launch it from normally



The cmd prompt can also let you control your network (lan or wlan). You can remotely shutdown someone elses computer on your network for example.

It is also the only way to find your internal ip address



In my posts i will show you how to open, use and master the cmd prompt

Putting your commands into a batch file

Now, you may have been wondering, what is the point in doing this when it could well be faster getting to the shortcut?
Well, you can put your commands into a file that can be run, meaning it is much faster than getting the shortcut

To do this, open a notepad file and put in your commands (one line per command)
If you want to create a sequence, add 'delay' in between two commands (on its own line still), this will prompt for the user to press any key to continue

Now, once you have put all of the commands in, save the file as 'name.bat' (obviously, without the quotes. This will save the file as a batch file, which are run through command prompt.

For example, once on the school network i created a batch file name 'free_games.bat' and put it on the intranet, of course, as you can guess many people clicked on it
The batch file told them they were not allowed near this resource and shutdown there computer
It was a great laugh
