A list of essential commands that will speed up your access to useful Windows features. With them, you can avoid navigating through the graphical interface, which can be slow and, moreover, different in different versions of Windows. In addition, you can look like a professional in the eyes of unenlightened users.
Just note that some of them can only be run from Run field, and some can only be run from the command line - CMD. Systems since Vista have introduced the Search option, which has its own behavior with respect to various commands.
