Useful Windows Commands

Introduced in Windows NT 3.51 (1995)

  • The /d flag in cd - Enables switching the current drive and the current directory at the same time, for example you are now on C:\Windows and after running cd /d D:\setup your command prompt will switch to D:\setup

Introduced in Windows XP (2001)

Note: The shutdown command was first built-in with XP but appeared in a resource kit that was commonly installed on earlier NT versions

  • The /FO (format) flag in tasklist - If the list of currently running processes is long it may be more comfortable to see them in a "list" rather than the default "table". You can use tasklist /fo list to view as a list
  • shutdown - Shutdown the system immediately by passing /s /t 0, log off by passing /l
