Greetings!
How can I find all the command line commands for windows? Is there any reference, or help system?
Thanks.

Theres more that just a listing of DOS commands/syntax, theres also help and information of .bat (batch) files, and more.
: )
I'll try that. Thank you loopy.
Any body no anything?
Call for HELP while at the command prompt, you'll be rewarded with a list of commands.
The help at the command line is far from all the commands ;)
I didn't say it was all of them. It is a nice start though.Quote:

In win2k/winxp there's ntcmds.chm in the %windir%\help directory that contains a section with a full command line reference. For quick, direct access you may wish to create a shortcut with something like:Quote:

I like finding little MS easter eggs in DOS...staying up at all hours trying -a, -b, -c, /a, /b, /c, etc. until I find something not documented in the Help. Its kinda like when you forget to put the jello back in the fridge. I think.
