Deinocheirus: Windows Console

Note: Here I unifily call "cmd.exe", "Windows Command line", "Command Prompt" "Terminal" as "Console", just to clear our sight.

Notes

The Windows Console cmd.exe, aka. command prompt is the interpreter of commands. It is case-insensitive, i.e. typing taskmgr and TaSkMgr has the same effect. Also taskmgr and taskmgr.exe are the same command.

Q&A List

  1. Start command prompt in administrator mode:

    2. Win+R > cmd > Ctrl + Shift + Enter

  2. Set PATH environment variable
    3. set PATH=%PATH%;"path/to/bin"
  3. Start Task Manager
    4. taskmgr.exe
  4. View Windows system log
    5. eventvwr
  5. Remove matched directories
    6. for /d %f in (Test_*) do rd %f /q
  6. Print current user
    7. whoami
echo %username%
  7. Change user password in administrator mode
    8. net [user] [password]
  8. List all services
    9. set
  9. File and directory operations
    10. mkdir temp
notepad foo
rename foo bar
ren bar foo
copy foo bar
move bar bar2
del bar2
cd ..\
del temp
  10. Run vbscript from .bat

    11. Prepare your .bat file like the following. ~%dp0 will expand to the path to your .bat file. pushd is to save that path.

    @echo off
pushd %~dp0
cscript youvbsfile.vbs
