An abbreviated MD command can also be used to create a directory. And RD to remove directory. 😊😉 Love CMD. This is classic. And i love win 3.11 😊 And if you want to be like Neo from the matrix, just write: color A
-
Been using dos since 83 and still use it every day to back up files using a batch file!
-
If you're doing ping -t, you can press ctrl+pause to have it output statistics so far without stopping it. Useful if you're looking for packet loss % or whatever
-
As someone who's first computer ran DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.11, I still find something new. Namely, the shutdown -ro option.
-
Correction at 4:46. "CD .." will not always go to the previous directory. It will always go to the parent directory of where ever you entered the command from. Thanks for the tip of using tab to autocomplete a folder name in the command prompt. I learned something!

I just love DOS/command prompt. It just feels like home and always will. Right back where I began with PC’s. I agree it’s important for aspiring technicians to have at least a basic command line knowledge. Glad to see content like this exists in 2023. Nicely done.
-
One command in the terminal that I always use is diskpart. In general Windows disk utilities have always been poor but diskpart is a very useful utility. I still use the pipe for page breaks....but I am old.😊
-
These are always awesome to know. Last time I tried to have a conversation about it someone practically threw a Powershell book at me and was like 'get with the times'.
-
It's been a few years....ermm mmmm decades actually, since I had to be familiar with DOS. Dos 6.2, Win 3.1, Win 95 (remember Rolling Stones Start Me Up.....). It was at Win 98 that you actully start forgetting DOS commands per say (and I did). Fun times!
-
DOS is very powerful. Some would say too powerful for the everyday User. It still remains the only way to solve some issues however. Cool video Rich, a walk down memory lane back to a time I had a full head of hair and it wasn't grey!
-
Pretty sure my first venture into "DOS" was actually CP/M on a 380Z Research Machine. Those were the days - writing assembly for a Z80. ZASM was awesome.
-
MS DOS and the good ol days, when there weren't any Windows or cool GUIs. I remember when DOS Shell came out, man that was cutting-edge stuff, yep it's been a minute.
-
Having started with MS-DOS 5.0 (I believe?) with my 80286, ages ago, this is like walking down Memory Lane... 🙂
-
For the command mkdir, you can also just type md to make a new directory and rd to remove a directory
-
Remember deltree? Could remove an entire directory loaded with files without first having to cd and del . first. I never knew about pathping at first I though it replaced tracert but then directly after you covered it. Great list of commands. I use them all quite often. Coming from using dos 3.3 and onward it’s just hard coded in me. Also there is dir/w for wide view of files and can also add the /p to pause at each full page.
-
brings me back to the old days.
-
I absolutely love the terminal app. I do a lot of powershell work and have ver 7 installed for Microsoft 365 administration. This is great for when a clients email gets hacked and I need to delete client side rules that the hackers have installed. But anyway it is very cool to be able to have several tabs of powershell and command prompt open.
-
This takes me back in 93-94 when I got my first PC (PC486) running only DOS 😂🤣. For a while DOS was only OS I used hehe.
-
Do you recommend a book on Dos Commands to help an individual learning these commands??? Thanks
-
I like to stretch the CMD window to full screen height for some commands and I also use the scroll bar or mouse wheel to move up and down through the history. Also the up-arrow can be pressed more than once to go back a few command to avoid some backspacing and typing
