Windows command line tricks

The command “title” can add some text to the command prompt.  For example, “title ADMIN” adds ADMIN to the text of the window.

To add a command line shortcut that remains visible, add a /k switch.  For example, “cmd.exe /k ipconfig.exe” will display information and remain on the screen.

The F7 key displays a list of previous commands.

The command “start.” will launch Windows Explorer at the current path.

Data can be piped to the clipboard by using “| clip”.  For example, “ipconfig | clip” will copy data to the Windows Clipboard.

To view all available Control Panel and Management Console shortcuts, use the command “dir *.cpl & dir *.msc” under Windows\System32.

Additional shortcuts can be found using the command “dir SystemProperties*”.
