Command Prompt was a Microsoft-supplied command line interpreter and is called MS-DOS Prompt on Windows 9x systems. (It has since been replaced by PowerShell. This article presents a command prompt list for Windows, such as those in Control Panel, Windows Utility and Applications, Disk Management, and Connection Management. It also includes a list of miscellaneous commands. Here is a list of commands you can use under Microsoft Windows, arranged by function.







The article, which features the screenshot of the Run tab, maintains that some of the commands will not run under Windows XP. In Windows Vista, the Run tab is not found in the startup menu, and Windows Vista-specific commands are omitted.
