Microsoft has slowly but surely pushed the command line aside in the Windows interface. This is not without reason. It’s an antiquated and mostly unnecessary tool from an era of text-based input.

Good video! Lot's of useful tricks here. While I was aware of some of them, there were a few that I learned (and some I forgot about) watching this video.
When I started using the command and run prompt , I couldnt stop, its so convenient, for repetitive emails where only the date changes, to locking or putting my pc to sleep, and other tools. It's accessible with one clic or press of the key arrow because it keeps in memory the previous commands. Just love it

how can I install by CMD ??
which command should I use??
Install? An app? You just type the name of the install file, the .exe . That's a pretty inefficient way of installing something rather than just double clicking on the file though. Why would you do that?
TYPO AT 3:18 systeminto ?
Why did I get a phone call reference cmd. How did you get my phone number.I never use the command line.
... What?
do these work on all versions of windows?
cmd is the same in all windows
how can you INSERT characters in a command line , without having to delete the entire line , just made changes , to a word in a long string?
If it is the same as Linux it is CTRL + K for after the curser, and CTRL + E for before the cursor.
thanks it fixed missing files
Thank you very much.
Nice video commando
How the taskbar
Can someone tell me how can i find the MAC address of my laptop pls
ipconfig /all
It'll be shown under the label Physical Address
Great video my friend, just one little thing, your text says systeminto instead of systeminfo.
and it also said "scanow" instead of "scannow"
Great video
if you type "prompt lol, it $T"(and press enter) in cmd, it will say "prompt lol, it (hour):(minute):(second):(millisecond)" yes, it can track milliseconds, in case that's useful.
Nice Video this is very helpful For me Thanks

Good stuff.

Same
Normally Desktop is located after users
Lisk?
how i can go back to my start, after using cmd, i am beginners
Assoc - It's not quite that easy. The assoc command doesn't list the PROGRAM an extension is associated with, it lists the file TYPE. You then need to use the ftype command to find out what the actual program is. And unfortunately, ftype isn't always reliable. For example, assoc tells me that .AVI is an avifile, and then ftype tells me that avifile is associated with Windows Media Player. It's not, it's associated with Media Player Classic, like every other video file. I have no idea where ftype pulls its information from, but it's clearly a different source than whatever Windows actually uses to determine what program to use.
mine requires an administrator account! someone tell me :( idk where to get to that
Is it your computer? Your own account should be admin enabled if it is.
The Imploder if you Type the CMD command in the find menu of your PC. Then right mouse button RMB and click on the CMD.EXE and choose to open as Administrator, that will give you a command window with Administrator privileges
The Imploder right click on cmd
shutdown -i allows remote shutdown of any computer in your directory
