Hello i am a computer geek wannabe. right now i am looking on youtube on different tricks on how to use cmd or command prompt. for example, type "ping <insert web address here>" you can find the alternate site to use to search a website (better than proxies i think).

Hello, Ed! It's me, Xav, the guy you met in Computer Club today! You know, the guy who showed you this website!

Edwin, how comes you're looking on YouTube for command prompts? There must be better sites out there. Try Windows XP/2000 Commands and Tools.

Here's some commands to start you off:

mspaint
sol
mshearts
fsquirt

Try typing those in to cmd and see what happens!

[shadow2bolt]

They are all just shortcuts which can easily be used to open by using the "run" program

OK, Mr. I Know Everything About CMD, try this one:

ipconfig

It's seriously cool - and it's NOT a program! It's a command!

For a list of commands, try typing "help".

[Xav]

Oh, and try typing:

ipconfig/all

It gives you EVEN MORE code!

[shadow2bolt]

now that one is very useful.
ever heard of .bat files?
if not then i'll teach you tomorrow

Excuse me, this is XAV THE CHAV you're talking to! I EAT .bat files for BREAKFAST!

Far out, dude, far out.

then you should have tried using it to your advantage during IT club today...
it is what i would call a system hacking tool if you really knew about it.

[shadow2bolt]
