You've propably heard of a black box with a white line flashing in it?
Its the COMMAND PROMPT
In this tutorial i will teach you how to use command prompt.
It may sound hard, but believe it , its a lot faster than navigating archives with normal style. Ready?

First thing:
Does the box look boring? Not for long.
Type "Color = " without the ""
You will get a list with numbers,colors,letters.
Try typing "Color 1a" again without the ""
Doesnt the color remind you of Free Pascal?
Try different colors if you wish to.
I like most the color by typing "color a" (Every thing here with no "")
Thats enough of changing colors.

Now lets get to the navigating part.
The command for navigating is "cd"
Try typing cd C:\
you feel like some text in the box changed?

Now type "Dir" thats the command for showing the directorys content.
Now you've got the list of stuff in ur C:\
Now ure like "so what?" propably.
type "tree C:\"
c00l?
well, still u aint üb3r cr4ckz0r.
:D

To feel comfort with these navigating things, first exercise :
Open System32 folder using command prompt!

The next command is nice too in navigating with cmd.
"Call"
When you get lazy u will , YES U WIll use call. Try this:
"Call Winmine.exe"
The files that are in you windows folder can be called right away without navigating to the folder.
BUT:
try "Call IExplore.exe"

Yes, it doesnt work.
now try:
"cd C:\program files\internet explorer"
and then "dir"
Now you see few dates and files.
now type again "Call IExplore.exe"

W00t wtf z0mg 1t w000rks d00d!

See the difference between the files in C:\windows
elsewhere.

Test opening some programs to feel comfort with this "call" command.

Next command, a dangerous one: "Del"
I suggest using this command only if on not anything important.
It gives the file a pass to bytes heaven.
= Cya file
For this command i will not say try to feel comfort , just for saving someones comp.

Next comes "net"

type "net"
there comes list of the aivabilities.

try typing "net statistics"
there you will see whats happened on ur comp.

you can try likely all of the net commands, they arent dangerous.

Now, you have some idea of the command prompt.
Type "help"
there you see a lot of commands. next exercise is…….
Try learning a few.
When you type a command succesfully, Gratz!


Making bat files.
Open notepad and type "call winmine.exe"
save it as Minesweeper.bat and all files instead of txt.
now double click you bat file.
wow it opens minesweeper!!
Bat files are very useful.

Now you have basic knowledge of using command prompt.
I will continue this guide for peoples requests.
