Ok so I learner the screensaver launch ((screensaver name).scr /p65552) and I have fun because ovvasionally when i Tab+Alt to move screens it makes my BG the screensaver. But I want to learn more fun stuff.

SO! PEOPLE OF CHU! Please tells me some DOS commands that I can have fun with. (I cant use shutdown codes etc etc because we only have 1 windows CPU and don't have a network and @ school I think they block CMD)

I don't know what you consider "fun". All of the commands that DOS used to have were all functional, no frills commands. And those that were carried over into the command prompt in Windows are doubly so.

I sat there and typed like every command in the help section.. I kind of find it entertaining

BASH Terminal beats Command Prompt so much...even if you give CMD the cscript program.

Uhm?

I don't know what Neo said but I figured out how to change text color =D

telnet

ftw

But thats a bit too advanced for you unfortunately :P

Why CMD?
CMD have many restrictions.
You can't do many things over it. Even if you do something it is most same as shortcut.

What neo mean is command shell from linux/Mac OS, which is realy powerfull.
Similar to this is powershell under windows, but you can learn the commands over years, because it is completely different from all other shells and realy complex.

Telnet isn't bad, but you have to run the service and have some restrictions aswell. Under windows you can let your CD/DVD Drive come out with telnet for example.


So tell us what you understand as fun and we may help you xD
