PRE-TEST
1. What is a Command Prompt?

2. Give at least 3 commands that can be use in cmd.

I. DISCUSSION:

Command Prompt is a command line interpreter application available in most Windows operating systems. It's
used to execute entered commands. Most of those commands automate tasks via scripts and batch files, perform
advanced administrative functions, and troubleshoot or solve certain kinds of Windows issues.

Command Prompt is officially called Windows Command Processor, but it's also sometimes referred to as the
command shell or cmd prompt, or even by its filename, cmd.exe.

Command Prompt is sometimes incorrectly referred to as "the DOS prompt" or as MS-DOS itself. Command
Prompt is a Windows program that emulates many of the command line abilities available in MS -DOS, but it's not
MS-DOS.

Command Prompt in Windows 10 OS

Command Prompt Availability

Command Prompt is available on every Windows NT-based operating system which includes Windows
10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, and Windows 2000, as well as Windows Server 2012,
2008, and 2003.

Windows PowerShell, an advanced command line interpreter available in recent Windows v ersions, supplements
the command executing abilities available in Command Prompt. Windows PowerShell may eventually replace the
Command Prompt in a future version of Windows.

How to Use Command Prompt

To use Command Prompt, you enter a valid Command Prompt command along with any optional parameters.
Command Prompt then executes the command as entered and performs the task or function it's designed to
perform in Windows.

Here are some of the more commonly used Command Prompt commands that are utilized in a variety of
circumstances:
CMD COMMAND DESCRIPTON
1. Attrib The attrib command is used to change the attributes of a single file or a
directory.
2. Chkdsk The chkdsk command, often referred to as check disk, is used to identify and
correct certain hard drive errors.
3. Del The del command is used to delete one or more files. The del command is the
same as the erase command.
4. Dir The dir command is used to display a list of files and folders contained inside
the folder that you are currently working in. The dir command also displays
other important information like the hard drive's serial number, the total
number of files listed, their combined size, the total amount of free space left
on the drive, and more.
5. Diskpart The diskpart command is used to create, manage, and delete hard drive
partitions.
6. Exit The exit command is used to end the cmd.exe (Windows) or command.com
(MS-DOS) session that you're currently working in.

address of all the network controllers on a system.
9. Gpupdate
The gpupdate command is used to update Group Policy settings.

10. Help The help command provides more detailed information on any of the other
Command Prompt or MS-DOS commands.
11. Ipconfig The ipconfig command is used to display detailed IP information for each
network adapter utilizing TCP/IP. The ipconfig command can also be used to
release and renew IP addresses on systems configured to receive them via
a DHCP server.
