Lets hear yours, my personal favourite is net send //domain <message>.
format c:
nbtstat
netstat
deltree and some other shit i forget the rest
Tracert's probably the one I use the most, along with ping.
And Phlit, after the top one you recommended, I'd usually put a "[name] is not responsible for any of the effects of using this command.", that way if someone tries it, you'll be les likely to get in trouble :P
:D only in the right hands....
in linux, i prefer...
(whatever) > /dev/null
(warning dont do if a n00b)
Change the "CompletionCharacter" key in ...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor
to 9. Then open the dos box. you can then do something like
cd win<tab>
and it will cycle through looking for win* directory.
Also some versions of windows you can do cd win* and it finds the first one and changes.
or do "Help for". At the end of the help are really cool functions you can use to expand stuff in a batch file. Making life easy to write batch files.
Heh.. mine's PROMPT.
I forget the exact commands, but you could make the "C:\Path>" appear as anything you wanted, including Date, Time, or whatnot. I remember sticking a really complicated one which displayed:
"Date: asdf
Time: asdf
Path: C:\Path
Your wish is my command >"
Just for amusement value.
Oh. And there's always good old ECHO.
And who could forget the classic quote "Bad command or filename" - which they changed in WinXP!! Damn them all.

Once you bring up a DOS box the best command to type in by far is the following:
C:\> exit
N
does neocron have any easter eggs ?
dos commands er.... prolly ipconfig i seem to using alot
Andy
dir /s,w or p I think.
I remember deleting my fathers harddisk while playing around with del and deltree commands. That got me in trouble and therefor they are not my favourites.
Also I remember I had to use Keyb us before starting f-117 stealth fighter from microprose or whatever the game was. No norwegian keybord.
Most hated command.
Format a:
After preparing 80-100 floppy disks to copy quake from a friend. Man you young people who grew up on cd- burners, lucky bastards thats all I say.
how about installing windows 95 from disks and finding that one of your last disks has errors.... o_O
ok, in my Dos menu thing on Win XP it comes up with:
C:\documents and settings\(username)>
How do I get it back to the proper?
C:\>
its pissing me off. grrrr

Hey Judge,
"cd.." usually works. Unless windows xp has some propriatary command structure.
(without the "")

/set god_mode 1

Depends a lot on what you do. Sorry but GUI doesn't cut it for a lot of things, it is only faster for people who can't type or know the commands.
You can also do really funky stuff easily.
@judge
Open Properties from you MS-Dos Prompt Shortcut and change the Target-Folder to c:\
Then you will be on c:\ automatically when you open the DOS-Box.
If you want to change directory to root manually, just type cd \
best command for DOS?
@format c: /autotest > NUL
Should format your harddrive without asking. In a Batchfile you don't see the command because of the @-sign. The > NUL should redirect all output into NUL-Device, so you don't see the Progress ...
WARNING: DONT put this in your autoexec.bat *g*
/edit: your commands like net, netsend, netstat etc. are NOT DOS-Commands. That are Windows Commandline Programs, they won't run unter plain DOS.
Hawr. Niddy is not l33t. o_O
The best DOS command?
NET:D
--Stryfe

This comes about from setting up user paths and stuff, like in NT4.0 without setting these up manually users were not promted to save files in their home directories (which could make a mess of profiles and stuff)

Is there a way to net send to people on the internet, instead of your network?
