Useful commands for Command Prompt

The black and white command looks so un-cool but has an astute capabilities for any kind of task to be performed.

The graphical interface of windows may offer a lot to our eyes but it could never match the functionality that could be achieved with command line.

1.  Use previously entered Command:

One more interesting feature of command line is that it keeps record of all the previously written command. So if you again want to execute the previous command then can press F7 key to get command history.

You can also use up and down arrow as an alternative. F1 and F2 also provide the same facility.

2.  Drag Drop Folder paths:

    We can simply drag n drop that file or folder instead of typing the whole from explorer onto command line window to copy its path.

3.   Move selected files to another folder:

    The task of copying i.e. moving a file can also be done via command line otherwise you would rather end up using Ctrl+click to select individual file in Windows Explorer. You can use wildcards to move selected files.
Use move *.doc newfolderpath
to move only doc files to new folder. Any wildcard combination can be used here.
