Command Prompt Tricks
 

If you're a frequent command prompt user, you'll appreciate the way this trick simplifies your life. This tip will work on all versions of Windows 2000 and Windows NT. By default, the prompt that the system presents you in a command prompt window shows the current drive letter and the full pathname. This prompt is configurable. For a list of configurable options, go to a command prompt and type

prompt /?

I spend much of my day dealing with remote file systems, so I often find myself wondering exactly where the J drive is mapped to. To refresh memory, I use the Net Use command. To modify the command prompt to reflect the remote path, I typed the following text at a command prompt

prompt $m$_$p$g

where $m echoes the Uniform Naming Convention (UNC) name of the drive letter that the command prompt currently displays; $_ inserts a carriage return and a line feed; and $p$g are the standard drive and pathname. This command caused the system to display the UNC name of my network drive.

To make this change stick on a Win2K system, you must modify an environment variable. You can do so from the Control Panel System applet's Advanced configuration option. All you have to do is click the Environment Variables button, create a system variable named prompt, and set its value to $m$_$p$g. This setting causes the system to display the remote network path every time you open a command prompt.

To make a message box on someone elses computer you type:NET SEND (their screen name) (text here) EXAMPLE: net send ryan hi ryan

To make a message box on someone elses computer you type:NET SEND (their screen name) (text here) EXAMPLE: net send ryan hi ryan .... what screen name is this refering to? and how can you find this out?

gen -April 18, 2004

(screen name) is actually the network name; if u type "net view" it gives a list of all computers on the network and their network names

jamie -April 30, 2004

I'm pretty sure it only works with a server but its their logon name

joe -May 04, 2004

Could you please tell me some nifty tricks like turning off my brothere computer through the network with command prompt? Please that would be really cool

Kai -May 11, 2004

It's not a screen name, it's the computer name. You can find out the computers name by going to control panel then double-click System. Go to the Computer name tab and that should tell you your computer's name. If you don't know the name, you have to use their IP address. You can find this out by typing "ipconfig" in the command prompt. You can only find out your comp name and IP address, to find out a friends you have to ask them or use their computers. NOTE: You can use both the computer name and IP address if you're on a LAN. If you're not connected to the other comp on a LAN, but both computers are on the Internet, you can use the IP address.

How can I free up space in my computer?

Jon -May 22, 2004

You can use net send with either the computer name or the IP address, another fun thing to do is to create a batch file to continuosly send messages. When I was in school everyone learned the batch file trick for revenge on one another. Its annoying to be hit but if your the one doing it can be lots of fun. Ive done it to my brother so much on the home network he got annoyed and turned the feature off...lots of fun though.

I accidentally went to this site: Here are some of the tricks that i know: 1) Go to the command prompt and type in shutdown -i, and hit enter. That should bring up the remote shutdown dialog..Then simply put in the computer name in the box and you are ready to shut them down..MUST HAVE WINDOWS XP 2) To send a message to someone over a network just simpl type in net send computername message in the command prompt... MUST HAVE XP 3) To shutdown the computer right away without the remote dialog, jyst simply go to command prompt and type in shutdown -m \\computername and that should kill the machine right away... Hope This Helped

how can you make someones computer disk drive open using command prompt?

Anonymous User -November 13, 2004

If you are on a network and you are using Windows XP just go into "My Network Places" then click "View Workgroup Computer" Open the name of the computer you want to view. So far you will see something like this \\ComputerName So you will just add the drive letter to the end of the address, example \\ComputerName\C$ this will allow you to acces the C: drive. NOTE that when an administrator sets up the security on a system, the administrator almost always configures the security so that certain users or groups can or cant access certain resources. To sum this up it mostly means that if you can access the C: drive on another computer it means you will not be able to access that drive at all. Other drive letters will work also. This information should not be used to cause harm to other computers. I'm only supplying this information because i had problems with saving homework on other computers on the network for another class and i needed to retrieve my work.

When you want to net send someone you have to use the "Computer Name" not their "Screen Name".

Anonymous User -November 17, 2004

The first thing you can try is to change the workgoup your on by "right clicking" on my computer and select "properties". From there click the "Computer Name" tab and select "change" on "to rename this computer or join a domain". After clicking "Change" you will rename the Wourkgoup the computer is assigned to and change it to whatever workgroup you are wanting to change to. This is just my guess becuase at my school the workgoups are assigned by different classes.

Alright for the guy with the problem with having his Command Prompt at full screen. There is a couple of ways you could fix this, since I dont know what version of windows you are using I'm guessing you are using Windows XP. Alright the first thing you can try is going to Start>Programs>Accessories>Right Click on "Command Prompt" and go to properties>Click the Options Tab on the window that comes up> then make sure that "Window" is selected not "Full Screen">Click Apply and there you go. If that wasnt your problem and you are only stuck at half of your screen filled with Command Prompt. Open command prompt and then click that little C:\ that appears at the Top Left corner of the window...I dont know what it's called, then click RESTORE. If none of these work, just try going to Run and type cmd. That's the only advice I have for you for the time being.

This will work at school if u have school email. This used to work at hotmail but they closed the port (the 25 number). This is using telnet. I have not figured out how to do this in vb yet but it is possible, if u know how to do this in vb 6 or vb.net please post here. go to ur command prompt the mail server is the bit after the @, if this doesn't work, see my next post. telnet (mail server) 25 helo (any name) mail from:(anything)@mailserver rcpt to:(real address)@mailserver data (type message here) . <=== notice the "." quit

ok, a lot of these questions are similar to above ones and responeses are the same. I'm going to start signing my name as this is about the 3rd post i've done here, i'm the guy who wrote about telnet and mail servers. btw, to the ballarat guy, i live in the s.e. suburbs of melbourne. (correct me if i'm wrong) many years ago there was this man named Bill Gates. IBM had asked him to come up with an operating system for their new computers that were designed to compete with the apple computers on the market at the time. Bill bought an operating system from a small company and then leased it IBM, that is why there is Microsoft. If he hadn't leased it to IBM but instead sold it then IBM would control the majority of today's market, even more than microsoft controls. Anyway, that operating system i think was DOS. Computers went on developing, and i'm going to skip ahead to when i first got my own computer. It had windows 95. Win9x (windows 95 and 98 and varieties) is an visual operating system built on the dos programming, that is why it takes so long to load, it has to go from text based input to a graphic display thanks to two things, a kernal (you sometimes get kernal32 errors in win98) and a shell (explorer.exe) these send text based commands from your graphic actions. (remember, correct me if u know better). Batch files send text commands to another shell, this is a shell that can be run on windows computers, this is the dos shell. In case you dont' know, a shell is the way you intereact with a computer, you can look up shells on the internet, or if your lucky your isp might give you a unix shell(Telstra doesn't, telstra is australia's telephone carrier and my isp), but at this point in time, if u just wanna play tricks on firends at school don't bother about unix shells. Back to the topic, a batch file sends commands to the command prompt shell just like some .exe files send commands to the explorer shell. It is easy to write a batch file, google something like batch programming and then, open notepad, type in the commands that you want, save, rename as name.bat. Then just double click on it. Chris ------------- don't worry, i'm a noob too

Anonymous User -December 15, 2004

now, if ur still reading, and by the way, in computers there is a lot of reading, but don't worry, i'm a c+ english student too. next question. The ballarat high school guy, you have to be at school using one of their comps to be able to send messages and shutdown, though at a school like ballarat they would probably have protection in place to stop you being able to shutdown comps, so dont' bother with that. NOW, THE NUMBER ONE THING WITH COMPUTERS IS TO EXPERIMENT. TRY SOMETHING OUT, IF IT DOESN'T WORK, THEN THINK OF WHY, but think before you do something, are you going to get caught? what will happen if you get caught? what are you doing to get you caught? So now i'm going to take you through some useful DOS tools that will be on most windows OS(operating systems) and ways you can experiment.

Anonymous User -December 15, 2004

oops, forgot to sign that one, ah well, anyway here are some useful dos tools, you can find some more by urself, like i found these. Look through your system folder, find the name of an .exe or .com and type the name into command prompt and type [name] /? to find out what you can do with it. I use windows xp pro (the best windows, xp home sucks) so this guide is designed a little more for that. The system folder is something like C:\windows\system32. ping ping is one of the most common programs used through dos. Every OS has their ping program. This program checks to see if a webpage is up. commands- in many of these commands replacing the ip with something like google.com will work NOT IF YOU INCLUDE THE HTTP:// THOUGH ping [ip] pings the ip ping /? find the commands for ping tracert tracert will show you the number of hops (places your connection bounces off) to get to the other ip address. tracert [ip] the first hop will probably be to your isp. for the ballarat guy, his first hop will be to somewhere in ballarat, the next one to the capital city of the state, in his case melbourne, it may bounce around there a couple of times depending on the size of the city, the state, and where it has to go. Then if the site is overseas it will go to the place where your international connection is, in our case, sydney. It will then go to the next country, etc. tracert /? net This will show u commands you can do. variety, net send, type that in to find the variables that have to be filled in to send a message. shutdown /? shows the shutdown commands. netstat shows all connections to your computer. There used to be a bug in msn so that when you sent a file to someone it bypassed the proxy and typing in netstat -a would show their ip address, but they fixed this. These are the ones that i use most. there are others that i can't think of right now, but yeh, look at how much i've written, you try typing that much, it's hard.

ok first to send a message open command prompt and type: net send (computer name on the server) "message" an examplae of this for one of my classes would be net send tv-20 hello how are you? ------------------------------------------------- For batch files you open command prompt and type for example edit send.bat this would open a blue screen thing where you can type commands that would be run by the computer. A shortcut you can do with net send through bat commands are: open a new batch file by edit send.bat then type net send %1 %2 "the percents are for the name and message you willl type in" then hit alt+f+s to save then alt+f+x to go back to command prompt now you dont have to type net send just send; like now it would be send tv-20 hey whats up.

Ok and for the message thing you make a new batch file example edit hello.bat this takes you to the blue screen. type: :start net send %1 hey whats up net send %1 how are you net send %1 Yah Yah whatever goto start (you can type whatever you want) this would make it loop through those three messages over and over again. To run this type hello (<--name of .bat file) then (computer name) an example is hello tv-20 this would send those messages to this computer until you hit control+c the hit y to terminate, "make sure you do this to a friend or you will get in trouble, when you do this it sends your computers name as well" sam

Tips for school: Command promt was hard enough to find the first time around on my school's network, but then they denied access to all those paths. Now, I got smart. Open up a folder, and click the search button on the toolbar. Just search "command" and it will find it for you in an instant. This second time around I used someone else's password that I knew, and made a shortcut in a visual basic script file in their folder, and made it password protected. They're too dumb to open it with notepad, and it's called important.vbs, so they won't delete it. I suggest doing the same in your school's network. Command prompt has a great amount of power to it if you get to know it, especially when it comes to networking. I suggest searching something like "Command Prompt Forum" or similar, to find some more neat tricks. Also, teachers tend never to think that someone will look over their back for their password.

yes you can use the ip address in "net send". and if you don't really have a clew how to do something search the net and experiment. that will impress your friend more then you just getting other people to tell you. if you want to impress your friends try the shutdown command and shut down their computer but you can figure how to do that by yourself and when you figure it out it will be that much funner.

The NET SEND command uses the Messenger service to send messages on the network. This problem occurs because the Messenger service is disabled. By default, the Messenger service is disabled on computers that are running Microsoft Windows XP SP2. To work around this problem, change the Startup type of the Messenger service to Automatic, and then start the Messenger service. To do this, follow these steps: 1. Open Windows Explorer. 2. In the left pane, right-click My Computer, and then click Manage. 3. In the Computer Management window, expand Services and Applications in the left pane, and then click Services. 4. In the right pane, double-click Messenger. 5. In the Messenger Properties (Local Computer) dialog box, click the General tab. 6. On the General tab, select Automatic from the Startup type list, and then click Apply. 7. Under Service status, click Start, and then click OK.

To answer a questions that was asked alot, there is no way that i know of where u cannot open the cd from the command prompt. you can open it with a VBScript. heres a few things to mess with people on your network or at school. at a cmd prompt type "Rundll32 User32.dll,SwapMouseButton" exactly, without the quotes. this will reverse the mouse buttons. at cmd prompt "NET USER username password /DOMAIN" this will change the usernames password to password. leave the /DOMAIN as that, it doesn't have to be your domain. you can put this in a bacth file like @Echo off NET USER %USERNAME% password /DOMAIN more net user cmds, at cmd prompt NET USER username password /DOMAIN /ADD -> make a new user NET USER username /DOMAIN /DELETE -> delete the user, username and then add that to the startup in the registry or in C:\Doc and settings\All user\...\startup to change the password of users as they login to the computer. If your school has disabled cmd, at home make a copy of CMD.EXE and rename to something like Notepad.exe, cause they are probably just blocking the .exe with something like fortres. basic system variables at cmd propmt type Echo %USERNAME% current logged in user Echo %COMPUTERNAME% current computer name Echo %USERDOMAIN% current domain or type SET to get a list of all variables. findout a users computer, at cmd propmt type in this order nbtstat -R NET SEND username hahaha nbtstat -c this will bring up your nbtstat table, it should show the user name and his ip address. now type nbtstat -A IPAddress the ipaddress will be the one from the table. this will given u the netbios name for the computer he is logged into. copying files are easy on a network if u know the computer name u want to copy them to. copy C:\yourbatch.bat "\\computername\c$\doc and settings\all user\...\startup" this will copy a batch file, lets say to change users password at startup, to computer, computername. c$ means the C: but it is a hidden drive on a network. i have plenty more tricks, but some get pretty difficult, and i don't like sharing stuff like that. you should just learn it yourself.

if you want to send the file, lets say, word.doc. and it is saved on your computer at C:\word.doc. If you want to copy it to the computer named, COMP, and u want to put it on the C:. then use COPY C:\word.doc \\COMP\c$ this will copy word.doc to the computer named COMP. This will work on computers all in the same domain and if u have the proper rights. If you want to transfer files to computers that r not on your network, you would have to find out if your network has a ftp setup or a remote dail in.

You can open peoples cd trays and tons of other fun things. If you don't know much about this already I would reccomend downloading a remote administrater program to do it for you. I would reccomen Sub7 or maybe CIA(Cruel intentinz administrator). Check euyulio.org for sub7(get version 2.2) and tons of other stuff. Make sure to vote for them!! -----Jason

Yes you can send a message on a network. I (who am just overcoming my n00bishness) will give you a step by step to sending someone a message on a home network. Step 1: Open a command prompt. If you don't know how to do this simply goto start, run, and type in "cmd". Step 2: Type "net send * YOUR MESSAGE HERE" This will send that message to every user in your workgroup(including you). If it says it is disabled then I dunno what to do. If the person who you want to send it to doesn't receive it, they could be on a diffrent workgroup. Using Windows XP(I'm not sure about other versions...): goto control panel and click on System. Click on the Computer Name tab. Click the Change button. Change the Workgroup so that it is the name as the workgroup of your computer. **NOTE** You must restart the computer before this will work! If anyone has questions(I'll try to answer them) or ideas go ahead and send them to me at: jdcheslock@comcast.net ----Jason

Anonymous User -May 04, 2005

To use the Net Send to a specific computer you use Net Send The computer name can be found by right clicking My Computer and clicking the Computer Name tab. Make sure you take the full computer name. it'll have no spaces or anything like that. Command Prompt is also usually in the Start Menu. If it is disabled you must have Administrative powers on your computer and you have to go to Administrator Tools and enable it somewhere in there. Not exactly sure where, but it's in there. Trust me. That must be done on your computer and the recieving computer. Most of the times at schools they disable that and you don't have administrative powers. You could always try logging on as Administrator, Password: Administrator. Who knows? Shutdown is also a cool Dos Function, do a google on it and you can get the syntax.

i have some cool tricks in command prompt and in other places. if you cant open command prompt because of network security reasons, make a batch file with the same text and it will run one for you. for example in a text document write net send Screenname text and then save it as whatever.bat then run it. you could also make one that says @ECHO OFF ECHO. ECHO Whats up? ECHO. PAUSE CLS EXIT this will bring up and command prompt that asks Whats up and asks you to press any key i will be back with more cause i have to go

to make a shortcut to command prompt if you cant find it, just right-click on your desktop, and then cick new shortcut, in the shortcut box type "cmd" and then click ok

How can i solve that problem? Please reply this message soon! i want my roommate and friends to be freaked out.

Freak123 -October 17, 2006

Oh my gosh all of you guys are such n00bs. "I wanna impress my friends..." Give me a break. Quit screwing around and try to learn something USEFUL, so you can give something back to the world like the people who are trying to answer the deluge of petty requests coming through these comments. If you'd read the first few pages, all of your questions would be answered. For some reason everyone is skipping to the last page to post the same questions again and again and it just makes you look and sound like a total n00b. And forget about hacking. You can't learn to hack just by reading a single article and a few comments following it. Besides, hacking IS illegal, and real hackers don't go asking for advice on public forums. And don't be retarded; someone tells you to contact the NSA about hacking into Hotmail, don't take their advice! The NSA (National SECURITY Agency) is around to catch people who try these things. Don't be f*****g stupid, okay?

johndoeson -January 03, 2007

Hello. My name is Terrance and I would be most obliged if someone with extensive knowledge in computer programming would kindly take it upon themselves to teach me some simple coding to get satrted. I am extremely interested in the field of programming and would apreciate the help most profoundly. I am keen to learn the full range, from really basic coding to illeagle and complicated coding. I am willing to undergo any risks that I may need to be taking in order for me to learn, including a prison sentance & criminal record. If there are any teams of programmers wishing me to join them to take part in an ongoing exercise, I would be most honered to do so. Please may someone e-mail me or keep in contact with me to advise & train me in the art of "Hacking". I shall then be willing to help towards anything you may have trained me for. Thank You for listening. :-) Contact Me On MSN --> tcevilblood@hotmail.com (or just e-mail me) OR Add Me On My Space --> www.myspace.com/tcevilblood

tcevilblood -January 25, 2007

OH MY GOSH. Terrance, did you read ANYTHING the guy above you wrote?? I can't believe you completely ignored him! He knows what he's talking about, and has correctly summed up this entire article and the discussions following it. I can't believe the next comment was exactly what johndoeson warned you about!! I hope you DO get a prison sentence, Terrence, if not for your criminal intent, then for your IGNORANCE. Listen to people wiser than you, people telling you to forget about hacking. It's not "cool", and will get you nowhere in life. Hacker's don't speak in l33t, don't dress in all black, don't form tightly-knit groups where everybody shares and has your back... criminal hackers go to PRISON, where you usually wear orange jumpsuits and have to watch your own back because you will get beat up and possibly killed by other prisoners. I can't give you what you are looking for; all I can do is simply warn you of what WILL happen if you even keep asking about these things on public forums. Take my word for it and quit searching for this stuff. Trust me, you can be sued for the smallest of things, for example: REMOTELY SHUTTING DOWN SOMEONE'S COMPUTER WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT. This is a criminal act!

john-doe-son -February 26, 2007

You have a point there, but you shouldn't be freaking out. And it would be better if, instead of seeking help on the Internet, you would take the time to buy a book on C++, or DOS, and read the whole thing. If you really want to impress you friends, search on Google...there are tons of computer pranks that you can find and dowload/create. And if you're very serious about hacking, just download Cain, if you people even know what that is. Hacking is a very risky business, and the FBI, if it gets serious enough, could easily track you down. And, seriously, it's not called hacking. It's 'cracking,' such as cracking passwords. 'Please may someone e-mail me or keep in contact with me to advise & train me in the art of "Hacking".' That somebody could easily be working for a government agency like the FBI, and could arrest you. Hacking isn't a game. It could easily backfire on you and soon you could have Sub7 or another trojan on your computer. It isn't exactly smart to give out your email address asking for help on cracking. Somebody could send you a file, such as me, pretend it's a program that teaches you all about cracking, when it's actually NetBus. From there, they could remotely access your computer, and you could get arrested for something you never did. And I agree with john-doe-son--it's very n00bish to ask for help to 'impress your friends.'

Hello all Your Friendly HAcker here will abid to your requests for some nifty tricks first This is for Jason the one who said "You can only find out your comp name and IP address, to find out a friends you have to ask them or use their computers." you are a complete moron and should never touch a computer again to get someone ip adress first establish a connection with that individual the easyest way is, too start a convosation with them useing Hotmail or yahoo ect... Then type them a message once they have type back the connection is there. Now open Command prompt useing Run:cmd then type netstat -n 3 this will give a refreshing ip adresses of all computers servers and anything eles connected with your computer Now you all can find each other ip adress let all hell break lose my minions

Lrure -January 14, 2008

Hello all Your Friendly HAcker here will abid to your request To be able to become an administrator at your school for airuptheremr720 to become an administrator go to command prompt you can open it useing the run program:cmd now type net users this will give you all the infomation of what users there are on that computer now type net users (account name) just once space like so (net users administrator) that will give you all infomation on that single account now to be able to gain access type (net users administrator *) the * is just shift 8 this is an over ride function that will enable you to change the password to that user with out question now when you type the password nothing will show up so dont mess up the password hit enter and you will need to comfirm the password enter one more time and the password to the administrator is changed so just log off and log on as an administrator, change your grade what ever you want let all hell break lose my minions

Lrure -January 14, 2008

Hello all this is your friendly hacker Lrure this message is to johndoeson the one who is so incline to talk about other when they have a question on something that they want to learn. Listen to me all my minions if you want to learn any form of hacking i will be happy to teach you the best that i know how just message me with any question you want. Now heres a bit of information for all if you want to make sure you cant be traced first thing you do is learn how to hack into your own computer and erase your mac-number this is an internal number built into every computer if you manage to delete this then your computer is a ghost computer but it can still be traced though via the ip-adress so now what you need to do is get 2 more things first a static ip that changes as much as you want it to. For the other you need a program that can hide your ip from unwanted eyes it can still be veiwed but this gives you a couple extra minutes to get off a server or so forth so you arnt tracked this is a very valuble tool use it well and you will go far

Hmm.... i have been reading through these comments, and for god sakes how many children use this site! If you are actually intrested in becoming a programmer i suggest you enroll on a course, even a home learning course. At the very least you caould buy a book. Your not gonna learn to code in C+ or VB from a few comments of a post, so I don't see the point in trying. I feel sorry for the people that actually are trying to help people here. Fair enough if you are having debugging problems and need some help with some code, but children trying to "impress" thier friends is ridiculous, do something constructive, like your school work!
