Amazing Useful CMD tricks!

Here is a guide to show you several Command Prompt tricks to allow you to many things with CMD than you thought you could :p

Mainly for people who are writing Batch CMDS, from scratch. This will help you to write them.

Simple but useful tricks

1. Pressing arrow up selects a previous command from your command history; similarly, arrow down selects the next command.

2. Pressing F7 pops up your command history list.

3. You can drag n' drop files or folders from an explorer window into a command prompt; this inserts the quoted path as if you had manually pasted it.

4. Tab completion is fully supported; type edit *.ini then hit TAB to iterate through all matches. Use SHIFT+TAB to move to the previous match. This works for partial filenames as you would expect, and in all commands.

5. Tired of the typical "c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe" window title? Change it using the TITLE command.

6. ALT+ENTER takes your command prompt to fullscreen mode and back again
