Are you a Windows PC user?\u00a0Are you looking for a collection of\u00a0Command Prompt (CMD)<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0commands<\/a>\u00a0that can make it easier to operate the device?<\/p>\n

Although currently all the cool features in\u00a0the Windows operating system\u00a0can be used directly in a beautiful\u00a0GUI (Graphical User Interface)<\/strong>\u00a0mode\u00a0, in reality CMD still cannot be abandoned by its users.<\/p>\n

Whether it’s to help in the use of basic features, to doing things that are very technical.\u00a0In fact, not a few of them are looking for CMD commands to hack websites.<\/p>\n

Well, talking about the Command Prompt command, in this article Matob will give you a collection of CMD commands and their functions that you can try. Come on, take a look!<\/p>\n

What is a CMD Command?<\/h2>\n

Command Prompt or CMD<\/a> is a\u00a0command line interpreter<\/em>\u00a0(CLI) application that exists in the Windows operating system.\u00a0The commands in CMD serve to perform various operations on your computer.<\/p>\n

Actually, these commands have been around since the days of MS-DOS.\u00a0However, ordinary Windows users have rarely used the CMD command because the same function is now more easily accessible through the menu.<\/p>\n

However, the CMD command gives you more control over the operation of your computer.\u00a0The variety is a lot.\u00a0However, don’t worry.\u00a0You can use the list in this article as a cheat sheet!<\/p>\n

How to Open CMD \/ Command Prompt<\/h2>\n

Here’s an easy and quick way to open CMD on your computer via a shortcut (Windows\u00a0shortcut)<\/em>\u00a0:<\/p>\n

    Complete List of CMD Commands and Their Functions<\/h2>\n

    Before entering into this list of CMD commands<\/a>, you need to know that not all commands can be used in all versions of Windows.\u00a0To know which are the basic CMD commands that you can use, see the explanation below.<\/p>\n

    1. append<\/h3>\n

    Supported in:<\/strong>\u00a0all versions except Windows 10<\/p>\n

    The\u00a0append<\/strong>\u00a0command\u00a0allows you to open files that are in another directory, even when you are not in that directory.\u00a0An example of its use is as below:<\/p>\n

    append c:\\docs;c:\\letters edit myfile.txt<\/pre>\n
    The goal with this command is to open and edit a file called myfile.txt.\u00a0If the file is not in the directory you are currently opening, the command will look for it in the c:\\docs and c:\\letters directories.<\/p>\n
    If you want to add more than one search directory, use a semicolon (;) to separate each directory.<\/p>\n
    2. arp<\/h3>\n
    Supported in:<\/strong>\u00a0all versions of Windows<\/p>\n
    As the name implies, the arp command is used to manage ARP or the\u00a0address resolution protocol<\/em>\u00a0.\u00a0ARP itself is part of the IP (\u00a0internet protocol<\/em>\u00a0) that directs a\u00a032-bit\u00a0IP address\u00a0to a MAC (\u00a0medium access control<\/em>\u00a0) address.<\/p>\n
    Here is an example of using the arp command.\u00a0Let’s say your IP address is 220.0.0.160.\u00a0If you want to replace it, just run the following command:<\/p>\n
    arp -s 220.0.0.161 00-50-04-62-F7-23<\/pre>\n
    With this command, your IP address will be replaced with 220.0.0.161.<\/p>\n
    3. assoc<\/h3>\n
    Supported in:<\/strong>\u00a0all versions after Windows 98<\/p>\n
    The assoc command is used to check the file extension associated with a file type.\u00a0For example, say you want to display a description of the .txt extension.\u00a0For that, you need to run the following command.<\/p>\n
    assoc .txt<\/pre>\n
    After you enter the command, it will display the words .txt=txtfile, which means .txt is an extension for text files.<\/p>\n
    In addition, the assoc command can also be used to change or remove the association of a file extension with a file type.\u00a0Here is an example of using it to delete:<\/p>\n
    assoc .txt=<\/pre>\n
    If you want to use the above command, don’t forget to add a space after the equal sign (=).<\/p>\n
    4. at<\/h3>\n
    Supported on:<\/strong>\u00a0Windows 2000 and XP<\/p>\n
    The at command is used to automate various other commands at specified times.\u00a0Although it’s only supported on three older versions of Windows, at actually can also be used on Vista and 7 even though the status is\u00a0deprecated<\/em>\u00a0(no longer getting updates or support).<\/p>\n
    Starting in Windows 8, at has been replaced with schtasks which has a similar function.\u00a0This command will also be discussed later.<\/p>\n
    The at command itself has several uses.\u00a0If you just type at, the Command Prompt will display a list of automated commands.<\/p>\n
    Note that each of these commands is represented by an ID number.\u00a0This number is useful when you want to remove the automation of an already registered command.<\/p>\n
    For example, the command below will remove the command automation with ID 1:<\/p>\n
    at 1 \/delete<\/pre>\n
    If you want to delete everything, you can type the following command:<\/p>\n
    at \/delete \/yes<\/pre>\n
    Now, let’s try to automate the command with the following example:<\/p>\n
    at 6:50PM \/every:5,10,15,20,25 \"c:\\winnt\\task.bat\"<\/pre>\n
    In this example, your computer will run the task.bat file automatically at 6:50 p.m. every 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, and 25th. As a reminder, you can only use the date to specify the day the automation will run.<\/p>\n
    If \/interactive is added after runtime as in the example below, you’ll be able to interact with the file when it’s run.<\/p>\n
    at 6:50PM \/interactive \/every:5,10,15,20,25 c:\\winnt\\beep.bat<\/pre>\n
    5. attrib<\/h3>\n
    Supported in:<\/strong>\u00a0all versions of Windows<\/p>\n
    Have you ever come across a file you don’t want, but you can’t delete?\u00a0Perhaps the file attribute is set to\u00a0read-only<\/em>\u00a0.<\/p>\n
    To change its attributes, the common way is to right-click on the file, then open Properties.\u00a0At the bottom of the Properties window you will find a checkbox to turn this attribute off or on.<\/p>\n
    \"attribute-file\"<\/p>\n
    However, you can also do this with the attrib CMD command.\u00a0For example, as shown below:<\/p>\n
    attrib -R example.txt<\/pre>\n
    In that example, -R implies removing the\u00a0read-only<\/em>\u00a0attribute\u00a0from the file in question.\u00a0If you want to add an attribute, then the minus sign (-) is replaced with a plus sign (+).<\/p>\n
    In addition to R, there are three other attributes you can set with the attrib command:<\/p>\n
