An abbreviated MD command can also be used to create a directory. And RD to remove directory. 😊😉 Love CMD. This is classic. And i love win 3.11 😊 And if you want to be like Neo from the matrix, just write: color A
-
Suddenly I get flashbacks of tuning my config.sys and autoexec.bat with some strategic loadhighs and devicehighs to get that precious kilobytes of memory some games demanded 😅
-
I just love DOS/command prompt. It just feels like home and always will. Right back where I began with PC’s. I agree it’s important for aspiring technicians to have at least a basic command line knowledge. Glad to see content like this exists in 2023. Nicely done.

If you're doing ping -t, you can press ctrl+pause to have it output statistics so far without stopping it. Useful if you're looking for packet loss % or whatever
-
As someone who's first computer ran DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.11, I still find something new. Namely, the shutdown -ro option.
-
Correction at 4:46. "CD .." will not always go to the previous directory. It will always go to the parent directory of where ever you entered the command from. Thanks for the tip of using tab to autocomplete a folder name in the command prompt. I learned something!
-
Been using dos since 83 and still use it every day to back up files using a batch file!
-
MS DOS and the good ol days, when there weren't any Windows or cool GUIs. I remember when DOS Shell came out, man that was cutting-edge stuff, yep it's been a minute.
-
It's been a few years....ermm mmmm decades actually, since I had to be familiar with DOS. Dos 6.2, Win 3.1, Win 95 (remember Rolling Stones Start Me Up.....). It was at Win 98 that you actully start forgetting DOS commands per say (and I did). Fun times!
-
DOS is very powerful. Some would say too powerful for the everyday User. It still remains the only way to solve some issues however. Cool video Rich, a walk down memory lane back to a time I had a full head of hair and it wasn't grey!
-
These are always awesome to know. Last time I tried to have a conversation about it someone practically threw a Powershell book at me and was like 'get with the times'.
-
Great vid. I learned some new commands all these years later. Windows Terminal is great. Using it now. Cheers!
-
I recently discovered this channel and so far really enjoying all the content. I love the BTTF license plate :)
-
I like to stretch the CMD window to full screen height for some commands and I also use the scroll bar or mouse wheel to move up and down through the history. Also the up-arrow can be pressed more than once to go back a few command to avoid some backspacing and typing
-
CD\ also gets you back to root. Great video by the way. Always look forward to these. Keep up the great work.
-
Remember deltree? Could remove an entire directory loaded with files without first having to cd and del . first. I never knew about pathping at first I though it replaced tracert but then directly after you covered it. Great list of commands. I use them all quite often. Coming from using dos 3.3 and onward it’s just hard coded in me. Also there is dir/w for wide view of files and can also add the /p to pause at each full page.
-
Superb, Rich. One of the best instructional Videos you've ever done. Learned a lot.
-
Hi. Rich hope you are well, I just wanted to say thank you so much for this video. I appreciate the time you took to make it. I think you did an excellent job on it. I really enjoyed your explanations. Easy to understand, I took notes throughout the video. I must have backed it up about 1000 times.😁
-
Hope to see in the next video some PowerShell commands!
-
One command in the terminal that I always use is diskpart. In general Windows disk utilities have always been poor but diskpart is a very useful utility. I still use the pipe for page breaks....but I am old.😊
