A technical note if I may say, it is not DOS it is windows command prompt commands we are talking about. True they resembel DOS once because Windows is an OS next to DOS. However, there are more than DOS commands, I mean some that were not present in the DOS times for example "move" whiche moves a file from place to place or simply renames files. In order to make sure you know how a command acts you may also type COMMANDNAME /? for example move /? Here I list some commands that were defenately not available in DOS Ping <ip address/host name> checks if another device with passed ip address or host name is present. Tracert <ipaddress/hostname> shows the root to reach a device Xcopy <source location> <target location> copies a folder with all its contents to the target. Available in DOS as an external command. and mach more.
