Windows XP Tip: Windows XP Command Line Utilities

While there are a lot of command line utilities in WindowsXP, here are some that I have been using lately.

 

• bootcfg - Configures, queries, or changes Boot.ini file settings.

• driverquery - Displays a list of all installed device drivers and their properties.

• getmac - Returns the media access control (MAC) address and list of network protocols associated with each address for all network cards in each computer

• gpresult - Displays Group Policy settings and Resultant Set of Policy (RSOP) for a user or a computer

• netsh - You can use commands in the Netsh Interface IP context to configure the TCP/IP protocol

• schtasks - Schedules commands and programs to run periodically or at a specific time

• systeminfo - Displays detailed configuration information about a computer and its operating system
