To get to the Windows XP command prompt, Click Start - Run, then type the word  command (or cmd) into the box and press return. The prompt usually shows the current drive and working directory (folder) followed by a > and a flashing cursor. Before Windows came along, the command prompt was the way to start programs and run DOS commands.

What type of program or command do you want to execute.\nIf you don't want all the commands to be seen, each command line has to start with echo. That is echo and a period which means don't show what is typed after it. I haven't written a batch command for some time but it can be tricky if you mis-type a single keystroke.\nE-mail me with details of what you want to do and I'll see if I can make it work.

Windows XP does not have a "DOS mode" comparable to Windows 98 or earlier;  the closest thing it has is "safe mode - command prompt" which is available if you press the F8 key when windows is starting up.  (usually, you have to tap the F8 key rapidly.)

On your keyboard, press Windows Key Logo+R, then type cmd then press Enter.  You are now in the command prompt. type ping google.com to ping google, or replace with whatever website.  type help then press Enter to see a list of commands.  But be careful! dont use commands that you have no idea about, it could mess up your computer.\n\n-Nick

not in a batch file but you can use basic to do it. You should be able to find BASIC on your xP  CD

The concept of INTERNAL COMMANDS started back in the DOS days.  Essentially it was a command that could be executed from anywhere in folder structure while at the Command Prompt.  These commands were loaded in the memory by the Command.com loader that initiated at startup.\nThat file has been replaced by cmd.exe in Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 and OS/2\n\nDIR  \nLists the files in the current directory \nCD, CHDIR  \nChanges the current working directory or displays the current directory. \nCOPY  \nCopies one file to another (if the destination file already exists, MS-DOS asks whether to replace it). (See also XCOPY, an external command that could also copy directory trees) \nREN, RENAME  \nRenames a file or directory \nDEL, ERASE  \nDeletes a file. When used on a directory, deletes all files in that directory, but does not recurse or delete the directory itself. \nMD, MKDIR  \nCreates a new directory \nRD, RMDIR  \nRemoves an empty directory \nVOL  \nShows information about a volume \nLABEL  \nShow or change the label of a volume \nVERIFY  \nEnable or disable verification of writing for files \nTYPE  \nDisplay the content of a file on the console \n[edit]\nOther commands\nAll commands from the interactive mode can be used in batch files; similarly, one can use batch-file commands directly on the COMMAND.COM command line, interactively. Therefore, it is impossible to separate the syntax to "interactive" or "batch" commands.\n\nBREAK  \nControls the handling of program interruption with Ctrl+C. \nCLS  \nClears the screen. \nCHCP  \nDisplays or changes the current system code page. \nCTTY  \nDefines the device to use for input and output. \nDATE  \nSet the date of the system. \nECHO  \nToggles whether text is displayed (ECHO ON) or not (ECHO OFF). Also displays text on the screen (ECHO text). \nLH, LOADHIGH  \nLoads a program into upper memory. \nLOCK  \nEnables external programs to perform low-level disk access to a volume. (Windows 95/98/Me only) \nPATH  \nDisplays or change the value of the PATH environment variable which controls the places where COMMAND.COM will search for executable files. \nPAUSE  \nHalts execution of the program and displays a message asking the user to press any key to continue. \nPROMPT  \nDisplays or change the value of the PROMPT environment variable which controls the appearance of the prompt. \nSET  \nSets the value of an environment variable ; Without arguments, shows all defined environment variables. \nTIME  \nSet the time of the system. \nUNLOCK  \nDisables low-level disk access. (Windows 95/98/Me only) \nVER  \nDisplays the version of the operating system. \n\nOn the other hand, EXTERNAL COMMANDS are those not initiated by command.com or cmd.exe, and need to have their entire folder path included for the operating system to find and then execute.

Since I am a big fan of hotkeys, I thought it would be a nice idea to put a near-comprehensive list together (through research aka googling) ~Smile~\n\nWin = Start Menu, Win + Pause = System Properties,\n\nWin + D = Show Desktop,  Win + M = Minimize all windows,  Win + E = Launch Win Explorer (@ My Computer), \n\nWin + R = Run Command,  Win + Shift + M = Maximize all windows,  Win + L (XP) = Lock OS, \n\nAlt + Tab = Shift between Windows, Alt + Shift + Tab = Shift between Windows (Reverse Order), Alt + Spacebar + N = Minimize current window,\n\nAlt + F4 = Close Current Window, Alt + Spacebar + X = Maximize, Alt + Spacebar + R = Restore,\n\nCtrl+X = Cut, Ctrl+C = Copy, Ctrl+V = Paste, Ctrl+A = Select ALL, Ctrl+P = Print, Ctrl+ Shift + F10 = Shows Context Menu (Mouse Right Click Effect),\n\nCtrl+Esc = Start Menu, Ctrl + Shift + Esc  = Show Task Manager, \n\nApplication Specific (generally): Ctrl + S = Save, Ctrl + F = Find\n\n@ Desktop/Win Explorer: F2 = Rename File,  F3/Win + S = Launch Search\n\nQuick Hint: Those who hate typing long folder names/paths can simply drag and drop the whole entry from Windows Explorer Address Bar to Command prompt. (click on the left most end to pick)\n\nTBC...
