Now, not a lot of you guys will have a need of this thread, It's to post awesome windows command prompt ester egg things.

If you don't know what windows command prompt is, then you probably don't need to post here.

Put into your Run Engine:

telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl

Now, I said The RUN engine, not the command prompt, it will open the command prompt though. Then sit back and enjoy.

The RUN engine is found int he start menu.

what egzacly is it

[Biomanic]

Windows command prompt is essentially a system on windows that lets you control your computer. It's sorta complicated, but awesome once you get used to it.

You can also type it into CMD, the same thing will happen.
Also, here is what I KNOW in Command Prompt (I will not elaborate on each command I know, for example, the different subcommands inside a command, because then I'd have like 100 different commands listed):

title (title here) - Changes the name of the Command Prompt window.
prompt (prompt here) - Changes the Prompt (the thing before whatever you type)
tree - Lists the directories in Windows and stuff.
ipconfig - Lists your IP details, DNS servers, Gateways, Subnet Masks, etc.
telnet - Opens Windows Telnet inside CMD (which can be used to contact other computers or servers. Realtime roleplays can be played through CMD using this)
cls - Clears the Command Prompt.
net user - Allows you to see a list of all users on your system, allows you to change their passwords, account types, delete users, create users, etc.
net localgroup - Lists all account group types on your system, allows you to create/delete groups, etc.
net accounts - Allows you to state whether accounts are automatically logged off, allows you to set minimum and maximum password limits on your computer, lockout users, etc.
net computer - Add or remove a computer from your network.
net send - Sends a message to every computer on the network.
time - Allows you to set the time.
ver - Displays your current Windows version.
replace - Allows you to replace files (LOLHACKING).
rd - Removes a directory and stuff.
ren - Renames files.
print - Prints a file.
move - Moves files.
help - Displays heaps of commands.
md Creates directory.
find - Finds a file inside a directory.
echo (word here) - Repeats whatever words you just said.
cd - Tells you the current directory you are in.
erase - Deletes files.
date - Sets the date.
doskey - Changes macros and stuff. I don't get it.
color - (Ergh, American) Changes CMD text and background coloUr.
at - Tells the computer to run different programs.
exit - Turns it off

Btw, for those that don't know how to use CMD, go into Start -> Run. Then type 'cmd' in the box and press enter.

I've never used 'exit' and I never will!

[Farrelei]

Really? Why!?
It's much more cooler then pressing the X. That's boring.

[Biomanic]

But, I've never actually gotten out've windows command prompt, it stays on my desktop. Unless I tell it to leave.

[Farrelei]

Oh I see, then.

[Biomanic]

Yeah, that's right. Not everyone is awesome like me, so they don't all do that.

[Farrelei]

Yeah. It just must have been hiding in the background when I went to your house then.

[Biomanic]

Actually, that's exactly true, I set it, so it's always open, but not showing, when I press F11 + TAB it resumes it.

[Shwoozar]

no it doesnt, i just tried

[Farrelei]

tracert (url/IP here) - traces an IPor web address back to it's mother IP.
LOLHACKING.
