The Windows Command Prompt is a command-line interface that allows you to execute commands and programs. It provides a text-based interface to the operating system and can be used to perform a wide range of tasks, such as running programs, managing files and directories, and interacting with other systems.
To open the Command Prompt, you can use the "Run" dialog (press the Windows key + R on your keyboard) and type "cmd" and press Enter. You can also find the Command Prompt in the Start menu under "Windows System".
Once you have the Command Prompt open, you can start typing commands. Some common commands include:
- dir: Display the contents of a directory.
- cd: Change the current directory.
- type: Display the contents of a text file.
- copy: Copy files and directories.
- del: Delete files and directories.
- mkdir: Create a new directory.
- ren: Rename a file or directory.
- xcopy: Copy files and directories, including subdirectories.
There are many more commands available in the Command Prompt. You can use the help command to see a list of all available commands and get more information about how to use them.
