I initially took a liking to Linux because you can do *everything* at
the commandline... but recently I've discovered a few cool things you
can do with Windows at the commandline.
For instance, let's say your pissed off with having to navigate to
"C:\Documents and Settings\My Name\My Documents", well just go to the
commandline and type:
subst x: "C:\Documents and Settings\Whoever\My Documents"
Now x: is a drive that points to the aforementioned directory.
One thing I really like about Linux is the "ifconfig" command. For
instance here's how you'd set your IP address:
ipconfig eth0 192.168.1.87 netmask 255.255.255.0
Well, under Windows, you can set your IP address and default gateway in
one foul swoop with:
netsh interface ip set address "eth0" static 192.168.1.87
255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 1
Does anyone else have some cool Windows commandline stuff to share?
