What are some command prompt codes?

Asked by Wiki User

If you mean commands there are several. To list a few, there is the command "tree" This command shows all files and directories within the directory of choice. Another would be "mkdir". This creates a folder with the name of your choice into the directory you are curruently on right now. The most used command would be "cd" which changes directory you are curruently accessing. Many other commands can be found by typing in the command "/?" or "/help"

I hope this helped. *^^*

BTW, for certain prompts it will say the operation requires elevation. This means you need to run the command prompt as an administrator.

When would you use a command prompt?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The command prompt is most useful when used for executing scripts (.bat on Win) or adminstrating servers (especially on linux and similar systems). If you are familiar with it, you can navigate the directories on your drive faster and finish keyboard heavy tasks quicker because you don't have to switch between keyboard and mouse. And, although I don't know any for Windows, GNU/Linux and other unxoid systems offer many useful tools which are only acessible through command line. You may be able to achieve the same using programs with GUI, but a command prompt script will probably be faster.

You type help and go from there!

Go to START click on RUN and type in cmd. If you don't have RUN on your start menu, you can do this. Right click your task bar and click on Properties. At the top of this window click on 'Start Menu' and you should see 'Customize' on the right side, click on that and next window scroll down until you see 'Pictures' under that the check box for 'Run Command' should be there. Just click inside the box and then click apply. Hope that helps you and maybe alot of other people too.

How do you start command prompt using notepad?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I am not exactly sure what you are asking, but I will try:

if you have a notepad file that you want to run in command prompt, you need to save it as a (DOT)cmd extension instead of a (DOT)txt. the icon then should look like a blank dialog box with a gear i think.

You just simply type the same commnads you would in command prompt in notepad. You will want to separate each command line by pressing enter.

To simply call up the command prompt window using notepad, type in notepad:

command

then save as command.cmd

Also, with some commands you might want to insert a pause before going on to the next command. To do this just hit enter and type pause, then hit enter again and insert your next command. Here's an example:

Open up notepad and type:

command

pause

ipconfig

pause

then save as test.cmd on your desktop. Then exit notepad, click on the icon that says "test", and watch it work :)

Edit:

1. Open notepad

2. Type in "command.com" (without apostriophies)

3. Save as %type in a name of a file%.bat (ideally on Desktop)

4. You're done. Double click the new file you created

What command clears the command prompt window?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Typing in "cls" without the quotes and hitting enter will clear the command prompt window (DOS window) and show you just the current prompt such as "C:".

If you search for "dos commands" you should find some lists of things that are available when you are in the command prompt. But be aware that not all are active on all computers and some commands can delete files and do other things that you may not really want. -)

How do you access a command prompt in windows?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you're using Windows Vista or Windows 7, the easiest way is simply to type 'cmd' into the search box on the Start menu, then choose cmd.exe from the results.

If you have any older Windows, like Windows Xp, windows 98 etc.

You will have to search for it, click start, and look under accessories.

If you have an antivirus program, you have that option when initializing that program to run. No reason to do it from the command prompt. The Command Prompt is only used when there are systems needed to be accessed for maintenance or system changes that need to be done within the "shell" of the OS.

How java runs in command prompt?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Java executable comes with a showversion flag, so typing:

java -showversion

Will display something like:

java version "1.6.0_16"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_16-b01)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.2-b01, mixed mode)

Note: This seems to be bugged on my machine. After printing out the above information, it also prints out the rest of the command line switches. If this happens to you, you may have to scroll up to see the important information.
