It's easy to impress your friends.This is the perfect place to start.
Step 1: Command Prompt is open.
Go to the start menu.There is a way to search "cmd".You can hit Run and then look for it.You will need a more complex method if both of those don't work.You can open Notepad.Without quotation marks, write "Command.com" on the top line.It should be saved as CMD.bat.It's very important that the.bat part is included.And that's all.You can use either method to open it.
Step 2: Change color.
One of the simplest commands is "color".The text and background can be changed.The text is gray and the background is black.For a full list of the combinations you can make, type in "color help"A fun combo is "color FC", which has red text on a white background."Color 0a" uses bright green on black, which may seem drab, but is actually a cool hacker look.Let's experiment!
Step 3: "cls" is a suggestion.
"cls" is a vital command.It's very simple.cls will clear it to show the prompt if you have a lot of mumbo-jumbo on the screen.If you don't know what the prompt is, use "cls" and find out.
Step 4: If you want, change the title.
The top of the CMD window has a message on it.Isn't it a bit boring?If you wish to be there, type "title" followed by whichever text you want."title This Tutorial Rocks!" is an example.And... boom!It's there!
Step 5: Use a tree.
None of these will blow the socks off your friends.If you really want to impress them, try tree."Color 0a" is good for this.A graphical directory is what " tree" does.Those who don't know what that means should not worry.It is very cool.If you are using a school computer, the tree will be small and stupid.It won't be cool.
Step 6: Try "help."
The last basic command for a beginner is "help".The opening is very useful.It will allow for a lot of experimentation.The last step in basic commands is not a real command.A help menu will be given to that specific command if that is added to the end of a command.
Step 7: hacking is illegal.
Do not use this information at your own risk.
Step 8: A password can be changed.
Administrator privileges are necessary.Remember to type "net user name" in the SHIFT-8.That is all.
Step 9: A site.
If you type ping url of the site in cmd and press enter, you will see the address of that site, but if you look after 1-2 hours, it will fail.
