How much time do you spend in the command prompt? I was surprised to realize that I rely on it quite often. I also learned a ton of cool tips & tricks in DOS.
1. Windows won't start / or loads in Safe mode
2. Your having network issues and want to "play" with your network settings
3. For some crazy reason Windows has "locked" a file that you want to copy / move / delete
4. You want to partition / format / resize a drive
5. You want to see what parameters are available for a given program
6. Batch together tasks that will be scheduled to run at a later time with schtasks
7. Run CHKDSK check your disk and & defrag to defragment your hard drive
We also cover some cool tips & tricks you can do with AutoHotkey and COMSpec.
