| 89). MEM = Display memory usage... |
|---|
| (EXPLAIN - MEM) Display memory usage. Syntax MEM MEM /C MEM /D MEM /P Key /P List programs in memory with the memory address and size of each /D List Programs(as /P) and also Devices /C List programs in conventional memory and list programs in upper memory MEM will only display details about the current CMD shell environment, programs running in a separate shell (or WIN32 programs) will not be listed - so it won't tell you anything about total memory usage. |
| 90). MD = Create new folders... |
|---|
| (EXPLAIN - MD) Make Directory - Creates a new folder. Syntax MD [drive:]path Key The path can consist of any valid characters up to the maximum path length available You should avoid using the following characters in folder names - they are known to cause problems © ® " - & ' ^ ( ) and @ also many extended characters may not be recognised by older 16 bit windows applications. The maximum length of a full pathname (folders and filename) under NTFS or FAT is 260 characters. Folder names are not case sensitive, but only folder names longer than 8 characters will always retain their case, as typed. For Example C:\temp> MD MyFolder Make several folders with one command C:\temp> MD Alpha Beta Gamma will create C:\temp\Alpha\ C:\temp\Beta\ C:\temp\Gamma\ Make an entire path MD creates any intermediate directories in the path, if needed. For example, assuming \utils does not exist then: MD \utils\downloads\Editor is the same as: md \utils cd \utils md downloads cd downloads md Editor for long filenames include quotes MD "\utils\downloads\Super New Editor" You cannot create a folder with the same name as any of the following devices: CON, PRN, LPT1, LPT2 ..LPT9, COM1, COM2 ..COM9 This limitation ensures that redirection to these devices will always work. If you plan to copy data onto CDROM avoid folder trees more than 8 folders deep MKDIR is a synonym for MD |
| 91). MKLINK = Create a symbolic link (linkd)... |
|---|
| (EXPLAIN - MKLink (Vista) or LinkD) Create a symbolic link to a directory or a file. Syntax MKLINK [[/D] | [/H] | [/J]] Link Target LINKD Link [/D] Target Key: /H Create a hard link instead of a symbolic link. /J Create a Directory Junction. Link The new symbolic link name. Target The path (relative or absolute) that the new link refers to. /D MKLINK /D will create a Directory symbolic link. (default is file) LINKD /D will delete Link, regardless of whether a link exists To display the target name targeted by a Link run: LINKD Link. The Target for LinkD may be a destination directory or a Windows 2000 device or any valid Windows 2000 name. By default, only administrators can create symbolic links. It is possible (but not advisable) to create links that point to each other in a loop, or a link that targets itself. Deleting a Symbolic Link does not delete the contents of the target folder! (unlike Hard Junction links) Symbolic links can span volumes and can use UNC paths. Examples: C:\>MKlink ss64 C:\Windows\system32\notepad.exe C:\>Dir C:\>Del ss64 C:\>MKlink /D ss64folder C:\Windows C:\>Dir C:\>RD ss64folder |
| 92). MODE Configure a system device... |
|---|
| (EXPLAIN - MODE) Mode is an all purpose configuration command, used without parameters, MODE displays the status of all devices installed on your system. Devices Show the status of all devices: (Typically COM1, COM2, LPT1, CON) MODE Show the status of a specific device: MODE [device] To additionally show the status of any redirected parallel printer: MODE [device] [/STATUS] CMD Prompt window size Change the CMD prompt screen size/buffer Number of cols(characters) wide and Number of lines deep MODE CON[:] [COLS=c] [LINES=n] Keyboard Set the keyboard typematic rate, the rate at which a character is repeated when you hold down the key. MODE CON[:] [RATE=r DELAY=d] Printing To redirect output from a parallel port (PRN, LPT1, LPT2, or LPT3) to a serial port(COM1, COM2, COM3, etc). You must be a member of the Administrators group to redirect printing. To configure a parallel printer port (PRN, LPT1, LPT2, or LPT3): MODE LPTn[:]=COMm[:] To setup the parameters for a serial port (* see Start, Help, Commands for more on this). MODE COMm [options*] Configure a printer connected to a parallel printer port. mode LPTn[:] [c][,[l][,r]] mode LPTn[:] [cols=c] [lines=l] This allows you to configure a line printer connected to a parallel printer port. International Settings Change the current code page: MODE CON[:] CP SELECT=yyy Display the current Code page: MODE CON[:] CP [/STATUS] Examples: MODE CON:cols=80 lines=25 |
| 93). MORE = Display output, one screen at a time... |
|---|
| (EXPLAIN - MORE) Display output one screen at a time. MORE can be used to run any executable command (or batch file) and pause the screen output one screen at a time. MORE can also be used to TYPE the contents of any file to the screen. Syntax command | MORE [/E [/C] [/P] [/S] [/Tn] [+n]] MORE [/E [/C] [/P] [/S] [/Tn] [+n]] < Pathname MORE /E [/C] [/P] [/S] [/Tn] [+n] [Pathname(s)] Key command : Any executable command or batch file Pathname : The file to be displayed. (if more than one separate with spaces) /E : Enable extended features /E /C : Clear screen before displaying page /E /P : Expand FormFeed characters /E /S : Squeeze multiple blank lines into a single line /E /Tn : Expand tabs to n spaces (default 8) /E +n : Start displaying the first file at line n You can create an environment variable called %MORE% and use this to supply any of the above switches. When MORE is used without any redirection symbols it will display the % complete e.g. MORE /E myfile.txt --More (17%) -- If extended features are enabled, (/E) the following keystrokes can be used at the -- More -- prompt: Q Quit P n Display next n lines S n Skip next n lines F Display next file = Show line number ? Show help line |
| 94). MOUNTVOL = Manage a volume mount point... |
|---|
| (EXPLAIN - MOUNTVOL (Windows 2000/2003/Server 2008)) Link volumes without requiring a drive letter. Create, delete or list a volume mount point. NTFS junction mount points can only be used with local NTFS directories, (unlike DFS junction points which will target a network share). MOUNTVOL can be found on the Windows CD i386 folder. Syntax MOUNTVOL [drive:]path option Options path : An existing NTFS folder where the mount point will reside. VolName : The volume name that is the target of the mount point. In the form \\?\Volume{GUID}\, where {GUID} is a globally unique identifier e.g. \\?\Volume\{2eca078d-5cbc-43d3-aff8-7e8511f60d0e}\ /D : Remove the volume mount point from the specified folder. /E : Re-enable automatic mounting of new basic volumes (2003 and above). /L : List the mounted volume name for the specified folder. /s : Itanium-based computers only. Mount the EFI System Partition on the specified drive. /p : Remove the volume mount point from the specified directory, dismount the basic volume, and take the basic volume offline, making it unmountable. (Server 2008) /r : Remove volume mount point directories and registry settings for volumes that are no longer in the system,this prevents them from being automatically mounted and given their former volume mount point(s) when added back to the system.(Server 2008) /n : Disable automatic mounting of new basic volumes.(Server 2008) New volumes are not mounted automatically when added to the system. The GUID is used to identify a unique volume even if the drive letter changes. If other processes are using the volume, mountvol closes any open handles before dismounting the volume. Volumes that are dismounted by using /p are listed in the volumes list as "NOT MOUNTED UNTIL A VOLUME MOUNT POINT IS CREATED." If the volume has more than one mount point, use /d to remove the additional mount points before using /p. You can make the basic volume mountable again by assigning a volume mount point. If you need to expand your volume space without reformatting or replacing a hard drive, you can add a mount path to another volume. The benefit of using one volume with several mount paths is that you can access all local volumes by using a single drive letter (such as C:). You do not need to remember which volume corresponds to which drive letter—although you can still mount local volumes and assign them drive letters. When using junction points: • Use NTFS ACLs to protect junction points from inadvertent deletion. • Use NTFS ACLs to protect files and directories that are targeted by junction points from inadvertent deletion or other file system operations. • Never delete a junction point by using Explorer, a del /s command, or other file system utilities that walk recursively into directory trees. These utilities affect the target directory and all subdirectories. • Use caution when you apply ACLs or change file compression in a directory tree that includes NTFS junction points. • Do not create namespace cycles with NTFS or DFS junction points. • Put all your junction points in a secure location in a namespace where you can test them out in safety, and where other users will not mistakenly delete them or walk through them. Examples List the available volumes on your system (this will list the GUIDs) C:\> mountvol Create a mount point called ss64 C:\> md ss64 C:\> mountvol ss64 \\?\Volume\{2eca078d-5cbc-43d3-aff8-7e8511f60d0e}\ Delete the mount point C:\> mountvol \\?\Volume\{2eca078d-5cbc-43d3-aff8-7e8511f60d0e}\ /d |
| 95). MOVE = Move files from one folder to another... |
|---|
| (EXPLAIN - MOVE) Move a file from one folder to another Syntax MOVE [options] [Source] [Target] Key source : The path and filename of the file(s) to move. target : The path and filename to move file(s) to. options: /Y Suppress confirmation prompt. /-Y Enable confirmation prompt. Both Source and Target may be either a folder or a single file. The source may include wildcards (but not the destination). Under Windows 2000 and above, the default action is to prompt on overwrites unless the command is being executed from within a batch script. To force the overwriting of destination files use the COPYCMD environment variable: SET COPYCMD=/Y Using the COPYCMD variable has the advantage that the command will still work in early versions of windows (e.g. NT4) which don't support the /Y option (they overwrite by default). Examples: In the current folder MOVE oldfile.wp newfile.doc Full path specified MOVE g:\department\oldfile.wp "c:\Files to Convert\newfile.doc" Specify the drive and filename (assumes the current folder on both drives is correct) MOVE a:oldfile.wp c:newfile.doc Specify source only (will copy the file to current folder, keeping the same filename) MOVE g:\department\oldfile.wp Quiet move (no feedback on screen) MOVE oldfile.wp newfile.doc >nul |
| 96). MOVEUSER = Move a user from one domain to another... |
|---|
| (EXPLAIN - MOVEUSER.exe) Move a local user account into a domain or move a user account between machines.

This account must already exist. Specify domain users in DOMAIN/user format specify only user for local accounts. /c:computer The computer on which to make the changes. /k Keep user account user1 (only applies to local users) /y Overwrite an existing profile for user2. To use MOVEUSER, you must be logged in with admin rights to create and modify user accounts on both the source and target machine. Examples MOVEUSER fred MyDomain\newfred Or if the account 'fred' is on the remote PC called 'wks0123' MOVEUSER fred MyDomain\newfred /c:\\wks0123 |
| 97). MSG = Send a message... |
|---|
| (EXPLAIN - MSG.exe) Send a pop-up message to a user. The 'Home' editions of Windows don’t include MSG.

Windows installer versions Windows NT can support version 1.1 or version 1.2 Windows 2K includes version 1.1 Windows XP Sp1 /Server 2003 include version 2.0 Windows XP SP2 includes version 3.0 Updates to msiexec can be downloaded from MSDN. DO NOT use the domain controller Sysvol folder as a Windows Installer installation point, doing so may result in the following error when you attempt to run the Windows Installer (.msi) package: This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package. This is because the Sysvol folder is created with the SHI1005_FLAGS_RESTRICT_EXCLUSIVE_OPENS attribute, which prevents it from being exclusively locked by Windows Installer. Having locked files on a SYSVOL would create Active Directory directory service synchronization problems |
| 99). MSINFO = Windows NT diagnostics... |
