| | Windows XP cmd tip (DOS isn’t dead... it just smells funny) Some command-line folder creation examples:
To create multiple folders at once, add them directly to the "md" command:
C:\> md this is a test
To create a folder several folders deep, use:
C:\> md this\is\a\test
Creating a folder with a long name requires the double-quote at the beginning:
C:\> md "this is a test
Bonus tip: Windows XP supports the forward slash "/" as a folder divider. Unix/Linux users: don't let the DOS environment get you down. Use a Unix-style CD command to change your present working directory:
C:\> cd Windows/system32/drivers/etc |

Sweeeeeet tip...thanks sazz  Didn't know that the md command could do all that stuff. Sure beats creating a new folder and subfolder each time. Just took a look at the md help and there it is...actually didn't mention the on how to create multiple folders though

If you want to create a whole list with eg all your song (if they have good naming), you can simply go to the folder with the music and type dir /b > c:\file.txt This will create a file in the root folder. The input might look like this (this is my stupid songs folder ) QUOTE 41_duitsbalkonlied-hi.mp3

PING! You can ping a website (and find out its IP). Just don't keep the IP information because some activities you do with it may be considered ILLEGAL or unsafe. We are all good people, so let me tell you how. All you have to do is start up Command Prompt (or CMD.exe), then type "Ping *yourwebsite.com*". Be sure to put www in the beginning!

My favorite CMD trick is changing color in command prompt. I like to change background color and text color. So i found one command to do this trick. Type color 03 in command prompt. After typing this you'll find that text in command prompt is turning green. This will be limited for single session only. It means it'll revert back to black background when you open next time. To set this changes permanently you've to edit it in properties by right clicking it. @Marco, for you to shutdown and reboot automatically at specific intervals you can use freeware shutdown/restart softwares. There are plnety of freeware/shareware or donationware in market. You can use software like Kronos shutdown software for this requirement of yours. You can download kronos time system from fileheap. You can click here for the link. Hope this helps you to solve your problem.

Can You Create A Folder Name "con"
Is it possible to create a folder named "CON" in Windows? (22) I tried in both Windows XP Home and Professional. If you try to make a folder named "CON" Windows XP

Folder". The bug seems like a variable that got treated as a string or vice-versa. Trying to create
the folder from a cmd prompt failed with an error "The directory name is invalid.". This also works
when you try to create a file called "CON", or "CON.". ".CON" shows up the way it should. Somewhere
