My C: Drive

Even though there were several developments carried over the GUI , the command line interface still lives in any release of the Operation System and Vista is no exception . There is a hell lot of things that can be done or tweaked using the command prompt .

I shall reveal some of them in this post.

1.
Most common one used in the command prompt is the dir command . Here it can be piped with the clip.exe command to copy the entries produced by the dir command to the clip board and then paste in into the notepad .

First type DIR | CLIP.EXE

Then launch notepad and choose the paste option , which displays all the files .

We have to realize that the Windows Explorer doesn't display all the files*

2.
Substitute a new drive for a Folder

If or in case a particular folder is of great importance to you,then u can assign a new drive letter to it and can access them with ease .

For example you want to substitute a drive for the folder c:\windows use the command as follows

SUBST X: "C:\Windows"

If you want to get rid of this drive then type SUBST X: /D

Let me cover rest of the command later. Keep following .
