Commands for Windows XP<\/p>\n
The command line isn’t dead! I compiled these commands from all over. Use them well.<\/p>\n
Windows XP Recovery Console
\nThe only 2 really useful things you can do with it are:
\nfixboot – might magically fix the boot record
\nfixmbr – might magically fix the mbr
\n———–<\/p>\n
chkdsk c: \/v \/r \/x Take a long time to look at C:\\ and fix errors<\/p>\n
compmgmt.msc \u00a0 disk management in XP<\/p>\n
net use
\nFind out what file shares and stuff you have open. Lots of bells and whistles on this command<\/p>\n
bootcfg
\nView your boot loader settings, such as your default OS and selection timeout, as well as your boot entries and load options.<\/p>\n
defrag
\nYou probably already guessed that this defrags your hard drive.<\/p>\n
diskpart
\nManages your disk partitions. After you type “diskpart” into your command prompt, your prompt will become “DISKPART.” Type a question mark to get a list of possible arguments. Type exit to leave diskpart.<\/p>\n
driverquery
\nWill get you a nice list of your drivers and their properties.<\/p>\n
fsutil
\nThis is a handy command. You can do everything from managing your hardlinks to querying the free space in a volume. Type “fsutil” into your command prompt, and you’ll see a list of options. I choose “fsinfo” from the list, so I type “fsutil fsinfo” into the prompt. Now I get even more options, but I choose drives by typing “fsutil fsinfo drives.” It’s fun, it’s easy, and you’ll get the hang of it. Explore this utility. There are a lot of cool features and hidden twists.<\/p>\n
getmac
\nThis gets the MAC (Media Access Control) address.<\/p>\n
gpresult
\nGet the RSoP, user settings, and computer group policy settings.<\/p>\n
helpctr
\nStarts the Help and Support Center.<\/p>\n
ipseccmd
\nConfigures Internet protocol security (IPSec) policies in the directory service or in a local or remote Registry. Ipseccmd is a command-line version of the IP Security Policies Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in.<\/p>\n
netsh
\nA network configuration tool. Type “netsh” to enter the tool, or “netsh \/?” to learn more about it. To exit this tool, type “exit” at the “netsh>” prompt.<\/p>\n
openfiles
\nAllows an administrator to display or disconnect open files in XP professional. Type “openfiles \/?” for a list of possible parameters.<\/p>\n
pagefileconfig
\nDisplays and configures the paging file Virtual Memory settings of a system.<\/p>\n
prncnfg
\nConfigures or displays configuration information about a printer.<\/p>\n
prnjobs
\nPauses, resumes, cancels, and lists print jobs.<\/p>\n
recover
\nThis command attempts to recover readable information from a damaged disk. Type “recover” to get the syntax.<\/p>\n
reg
\nThe console registry tool. Get syntax help when you type “reg” into the prompt. You can export the registry, copy, restore, compare, and more.<\/p>\n
schtasks
\nThe administrator can schedule, run, change, or delete tasks on a local or remote machine. Type “schtasks \/?” without the quotes for a list of options.<\/p>\n
sfc
\nThe system file checker scans protected system files and replaces the ones you (or your applications) hacked beyond repair with the real, official Microsoft versions. Type “sfc” into the command prompt to get a list of options. Sometimes this will magically fix oddly broken copmuters<\/p>\n
shutdown
\nYou can shut down or restart your own computer, or an administrator can shut down or restart a remote computer. Type “shutdown” into your command prompt to see a list of possible arguments.<\/p>\n
systeminfo
\nBasic system configuration information, such as the system type, the processor type, your time zone, your virtual memory settings, and much more.<\/p>\n
tasklist
\nWant to know what’s going on behind the scenes? Type “tasklist” into the command prompt, and get a list of current processes.<\/p>\n
taskkill
\nNow that you know what’s going on behind the scenes, maybe you want to shut a few of these extraneous tasks down. That’s where taskkill comes in. Type “taskkill \/?” for a quick lesson in the syntax of the command, then shut down all those random processes. I just killed my MS messenger by typing “taskkill \/PID 1680.” I got the PID from running tasklist, above.<\/p>\n
typeperf
\nWrites performance-counter data to the command window or to a supported log file format.<\/p>\n
