As I have learned more about computers I have come to rely on the command prompt. The command prompt allows a system admin to do almost anything in one place. But there is so much to know with the command prompt we all need a good resource on how to use it.

I ran across the following web site: The Windows XP Command Line, Batch Files, and Scripting

The site concisely covers the basics of the command line. It also has some advanced command prompt tutorials.

Check it out, it is worth your time...

Thanks!

I have often searched for certain commands and have not found anything this good. It is very easy to understand specially for those that are new in command prompt.

Detailed

Detailed but easy to understand indeed.
Together with the post of a complete list of Windows Run commands from user trb48.

An unbeatable combination.
