An ordinary user, poorly versed in computers, may not know about the existence of the Command Line, or may not be able to use it. However, there always comes a time when the user, for some reason, is offered to execute the required command on the command line. In fact, everything is not as scary as it seems at first glance.
What is the command line?
It is a shell that allows you to set tasks to the computer in text form. Previously, the operating system did not have a graphical interface and all tasks were performed using text input. Nowadays many things can be done using various windows and graphical buttons, but the command line is still needed to this day.
Some commands are much easier to execute through the command line, and sometimes due to a graphical glitch, there is no other choice. Even if you haven't had a chance to use the command line so far, we advise you to start learning it right now.
You can run the command line in Windows 7 in several ways:
- Press the Win + R keys at the same time. In the window that appears, enter "cmd" and click OK.
- Open Start - Run. Also enter "cmd" and click OK.
- If you are on a guest account and need to run Command Prompt as administrator, click Start - All Programs - Accessories. On the "Command line" line, right-click and select Run as administrator.
Commands
After the above steps, we can proceed to enter the command. Windows 7 command line has classic design, namely a simple black text box, in which we can immediately start entering the desired text. Let's look at a list of the main commands that are most important in everyday use.
- regedit - allows you to enter the registry editor.
- ipconfig - shows all the necessary information about your IP address.
- ipconfig / all - gives more detailed information about IP, default gateway, subnet mask, server dns, etc.
- explorer - needed to restart the Explorer. For example, if you have lost the Start menu or some kind of failure has occurred, restart the Explorer.
- chkdisk - used to check the hard disk and file system for errors.
- services.msc - launches the control panel for computer services.
- systeminfo - Shows information about the currently installed operating system.
- gpedit.msc - launches the local group policy editor, which allows you to configure many of the settings of your computer, as well as set various restrictions for users.
This list includes only the basic commands for windows 7. Consider a few more pretty frequent problems and how to solve them using the command line.
Fast battery discharge... If your battery starts to drain quickly, it's worth checking to see if any program is to blame. To do this, enter "powercfg / energy" at the command line. Press Enter and wait for the system to compile a progress report. Then enter "energy-report.html" and read more information.
Resource Monitor... In order to monitor the performance of your computer, enter the "perfmon / res" command. This will launch the Resource Monitor, where you can find out a lot of useful information. For example, to identify which programs are loading the system or why the hard disk makes noise from time to time. To do this, go to the Disk section and select "Processes with disk activity". This way you can find out which program is using the most load on your disk.
File system... You can use the command line to convert the FAT32 file system to NTFS. In order to find out which system you have, go to "My Computer" and right-click on the disk, opening the "Properties" tab. The FAT32 system does not allow writing files to a disk larger than four gigabytes. Therefore, if it is installed, it is better to transform the system.
To do this, enter the text "convert c: / fs ntfs" on the command line. In this case, the letter "c" is the selected drive. If you are converting another, then enter the letter of the desired drive.
Electricity... Enter the text “powercfg.cpl” to configure settings for power consumption. Now you can configure various parameters, manage processor power, usb, set the desired parameters while connected to the network and much more.
... If you need to find out what devices are installed on your computer or what drivers should be updated, use Device Manager. To invoke it, enter "devmgmt.msc" and press Enter. Here you can view all the components and external devices connected to your computer.
Adjusting the color rendering... No monitor can display the picture perfectly accurately. Colors may look different when viewed on different monitors. To adjust the color rendering, enter "dccw". In the window that appears, adjust the color calibration so that when printing, the picture does not differ from what you see on the screen.
Standard tasks and programs for their implementation... It often happened that after opening a link from mail, the site did not open in the Chrome browser we needed (for example), but in Opere? This is because the default programs are selected for the main tasks. To change this, use the "computerdefaults" command. Select all the default programs you want and click OK.
Create folders... If you need to quickly create a large number of folders, use the command line. First, enter the path to the location where these folders will be located. For example "cd d: win", where "d: win" is the path to the location we want. After that write "md" and specify the folder names separated by a space, for example "md one two three four".
Disable unnecessary programs... Usually, we don't even know how many unnecessary programs are running on our system. Some we installed and forgot to close / uninstall, some perform completely unnecessary functions. To view the entire list, enter the command "services.msc" and press Enter. In the list, you can see not only the currently running programs, but also choose which ones will start automatically, along with Windows startup. The column "Startup type" shows which of them are started automatically. To change this, right-click and select disable.
Disk management... To open the Disk Control Panel, use the "diskmgmt.msc" command. In the window that opens, you can manage any disks, not only internal, but also external. For example, we want to change the letter for an external usb drive. To do this, right-click on the desired drive, select the line "Change drive letter or path to drive" and click change. After that, you just have to write the desired letter and confirm the change.
... In order to quickly go to the autorun control panel, run the "msconfig" command. This will open the system configuration panel. In it, you can choose what exactly to run along with the operating system. Go to the Startup section and uncheck the boxes next to unnecessary programs. Just be careful not to disable an important program, for example, antivirus.
Problem Steps Recorder... This feature originally appeared in Windows 7. What is it for? If, for example, you get the same error, you can run this function and automatically record all actions prior to the occurrence of this problem. After that, all the screenshots that the program will take can be transferred to a specialist or sent to technical support. Use the "psr" command to start the recording function.
Factory settings... If you start getting persistent errors, reset the basic settings of your computer. To do this, enter "sfc / scannow". After that, you may have to re-update some Windows components.
Complete list of commands
List of all commands currently available, just huge... Many of them are rarely needed, and sometimes an ordinary user does not come across them even once for all the use of a virtual machine. If you want to know more about the existing commands, enter the "help" command at the Windows 7 command prompt. You will see a list of commands and their brief meaning.
To learn more about the command you are interested in, enter "help_command name". For example, you want to learn more about the Assoc command. To do this, you need to write "help assoc" and press Enter.
It is hardly possible to imagine functional work on a computer without using the command line. Whether you like it or not, sooner or later you will still have to use it to make settings in the operating system, and absolutely regardless of whether Windows XP, 7 or 8 is installed on the PC. However, where computer geniuses have eaten a dog, novice users have to be content tormenting questions. And the main one among them is how to run the command line on the popular Windows 8 and 7 operating systems? Perhaps it would be just cruel not to answer it.
Method number 1: Run through the search menu
Using search is the simplest method that can be equally effectively used to launch the command line on computers with Windows versions 7, XP and 8. However, the execution options will differ slightly.
Windows 7 OS:
Open the "Start" menu and type the word "command" into the search box. As a result, the system will independently perform a search and display the command line shortcut. It remains only to right-click on it and select "Run as ..." from the menu that appears:
In addition, you can use another search value, for example, by entering the word cmd into the search box:
In any case, whatever method you choose, as a result of such actions, the system will open the command line you need to work:
In this version of the operating system from Microsoft, you can use the cmd command using the search bar in Metro. To do this, open the Windows 8 start screen and drive the cmd value into the search. As a result, the "Command Line" icon should appear on the left. Click on it with the right mouse button and click the "Run as ..." tab at the bottom of the screen:
Method # 2: Using the Task Manager
For some reason, this method is rarely used by users, although in terms of its efficiency and speed it is not inferior to the method described above. True, as in launching the command line using the cmd command through the Run or Search utility, you will have to act in Windows 7 and 8 in slightly different ways.
Windows 7 OS:
To launch the task manager, press Esc, Shift and Ctrl on the keyboard at the same time. Next, in the window that opens, we find the "File" tab and select the "New task (Run ...) parameter by clicking the left mouse button":
As a result, the "Create a new task" window will appear. This also happens to be necessary without the cmd command. To execute it and, accordingly, run the command line, enter the cmd value in the empty field of the system window and confirm our choice by simply pressing the OK button:
Windows 8 OS:
To begin with, just like on computers with Windows 7 installed on them, simultaneously press the Shift, Ctrl and Esc buttons on the keyboard. After that, in the window that opens, select the "File" tab, and in it the "Run a new task" section. As a result, the "Create a task" utility will open. It is quite appropriate to use the cmd command. Enter the word cmd in the "Open" line, and then click OK:
Method number 3: Launch using Explorer
This method does not require either the cmd command or the launch of third-party programs. To run the command line on the computer in this case, it will be enough to use the "Explorer" function provided by the developers of Windows 7 and 8.
Open "My Computer" and enter the Work disk C. Then enter the search for "Command Prompt" and press Enter. As a result, the system will find the shortcut we need. After that, it remains only to right-click on it and select "Run as ..." in the proposed menu:
While in Metro UI, click on the Windows Explorer tab, then go to the Computer and select the C drive. Then open "File", find the item "Open Command ..." in the menu and select the required parameter to enter:
Let's reveal a little secret here. Once at the command prompt, you can use the help command to get all the help you need about it:
This trick can come in handy if you accidentally forget the meaning of a particular command or are initially unsure of its effectiveness.
Method number 4: Start from a folder
For those who want to run a command line on a PC to configure a specific folder, just use this method. Startup time is reduced by one time.
All we need is to find the required folder and, while holding the Shift key on the keyboard, right-click on this folder, and then select "Open command window" in the proposed menu:
Everything is much simpler in this OS. It is enough to go to the desired folder and press Alt and 2 on the keyboard, without changing the sequence of keystrokes.
Method number 5: Executing the launch through the "Run" utility
This method is great for computers with Windows 7 and earlier versions of the OS. In this case, we will again need the benefits of the cmd command, but first we still need to invoke the Run utility. This can be done by simultaneously pressing the R and buttons on the keyboard. After the utility starts, we drive in the cmd value into the empty field in the window and press OK on the screen, or Enter on the keyboard.
While everyone is using the graphical interface, the usual command line (console) is still relevant. This is the ancestor of the human-computer interface. In this article I will tell you what it is and in what ways the windows 7 command line is launched, and show the basic console commands (video is attached!)
The console is a type of text-based interface that became available to a wide range of users along with the MS DOS operating system. The essence of working with this type of interface is that all commands are given by entering them from the keyboard.
Most people consider the command line a relic of the past, which should have sunk into oblivion along with the DOS system itself. After all, the windows graphical interface is much more convenient, intuitive and understandable for most people. But do not forget that the command line is not DOS, although there is certainly an external similarity - the same black window with a blinking cursor.
The console remains an indispensable management method, the need to use which may often arise not only for the system administrator, but also for the average user.
How to start the command line
Despite the fact that the user sees everything in a graphical form, the console was and remains one of the main elements of computer control. Of course, an ordinary user does not need to know commands at the IT-level, but the basics of management will be useful to everyone.
To start the command line you need to go to the "Start -\u003e Run" menu and write the word "cmd" in the window and press "Enter". In windows 8 (or if there is no Run menu item) press the Win + R key combination.
By the way, in order for the "Run" item to appear in windows 7, right-click on the "Start -\u003e Properties -\u003e Configure" button and check the box:
Sometimes it becomes necessary to open a command prompt as administrator. This is necessary for the execution of commands that require elevated access rights to the system. To do this, in the search bar of the "Start" menu, write "cmd" and in the search results, right-click on the found program "cmd" and select "Run as administrator"
If necessary, the console can be found at the standard address "C: \\ windows \\ System32 \\ cmd.exe" and invoke it from there in normal mode, or through the right button with administrator rights. You can create yourself a shortcut on your desktop by simply dragging it from the Start -\u003e Accessories -\u003e Command Prompt menu.
Since sometimes they want to run the command line every time with administrator rights, you can click on the shortcut, select "Properties" and on the "Shortcut" tab, click the "Advanced" button
Check the "Run as administrator" checkbox here.
This is what the console looks like. As you can see, there is nothing superfluous, everything is done quite austerely. In the window you can see the familiar "copyright" sign, indicating that the software belongs to Microsoft, below - the current directory and the cursor, which means ready to start working.
The appearance can be given some changes to make it more suitable for a particular user. This can be done by right-clicking on the window title and selecting "Properties". There you can customize colors, font, location and some other windows 7 command line parameters
How to copy and paste text in the console
The developers put a pig on us, because the standard buttons for working with the clipboard "Ctrl + C / V" and "Ctrl / Shift + Insert" do not work here! To copy the text you need:
- right-click on the window
- select the "Mark" item
- select text with the left mouse button
- right-click
And to paste the text from the clipboard into the console window, you need to right-click and select "Paste".
But there are two options in the Properties window:
If you put a tick on "Select with the mouse", then we will be able to immediately select the text with the mouse, without selecting the item "Mark", and we will insert the text simply by pressing the right button.
If you uncheck the "Quick Insert" checkbox, the text will be inserted over the existing one without shifting it to the right.
Windows 7 command line buttons
For more comfortable work with the console, you can use the following hotkeys:
Up / Down arrows help you navigate through the history of the commands entered;
- entering the last command by letter;
- the output of the previous command;
- output of a numbered list of commands (usually the system remembers the last 50 commands, although it can be configured differently);
Move the cursor to the beginning / end of the line;
Move back / forward one word;
Switching between insert and overwrite modes (like in Word);
Delete the entered text.
Basic command line commands
The console has a bunch of commands, and there are separate tutorials for that. I will show only some of the most popular ones. Almost any command can be run with parameters. To see help on a command, you need to enter it with a question mark, like this:
team /?
In the help for the command, optional parameters (i.e. without them there will be no execution errors) are indicated in square brackets:
The command to read the contents of a folder - dir
Displays the contents of the directory. To select a directory other than the one displayed by default, you must specify the required path. For example:
The command to change the current directory is cd
Changes directory. The current "location" can be viewed here:
To change the current directory, you need to type the command: cd, space, directory name. For example:
To move to another drive, simply enter the drive name with a colon, for example "d:".
Note:
It is not necessary to register the disk if the required directory is located on an already open disk;
So that when you enter the "cd" command, you can go to another disk, you must add the / D parameter (the so-called flag) to the command. Then the command will look like this:
Create directory command - mkdir
Creates a new folder with the given name. In order for the folder to be created in the specified directory, you must write the appropriate command, for example:
The same command allows you to create an entire directory tree, in which case the command will look like this:
mkdir c: \\ 1 \\ 2 \\ 3 \\ 4 \\ 5 \\ 6, where numbers replace with your folder names
Delete folder command - rmdir
Quite a useful command that you can use to delete an unnecessary directory. For example, it looks like this:
rmdir c: \\ temp \\ test
It should be borne in mind that in the standard form, the command will delete only empty directories. If the folder contains any kind of content, the user is presented with the message "The folder is not empty." In order to delete a folder along with its contents, add the / S parameter to the command. Then the command will look like this:
rmdir / s c: \\ temp \\ test
The deletion is confirmed by pressing the "Y" and Enter keys.
Popular utilities and programs for the console
In addition to built-in commands, the command line is often used to run console (text-based) and regular programs. To do this, you do not need to open the console itself, but you can enter the command directly in the "Run" window. But at the same time, after its execution, the window will quickly close and disappear. That is, if you need to view the results of the utility's execution, it must be run in windows 7 from the command line itself.
Turns off the computer. Here, most users ask a completely logical question: why go into the console to turn off the computer? The answer is simple. For example, a computer is working on a specific task that cannot be interrupted. And at this time you need to leave, or it is corny to go to bed, while you do not want to leave the computer turned on all night.
Of course, there are other ways to turn on the timer to turn off the computer, but almost all of these methods involve launching an outside application. If they are not at hand, then the command line commands in windows 7/8 will come in handy. So, to turn off the computer, we type:
This command will shutdown the computer immediately. If it is necessary to postpone the process, we type:
shutdown –s –t 1200, where digits are the time after which the computer will shutdown (in seconds)
After pressing the Enter key, the countdown will begin until the PC turns off. In this case, the following message will appear in windows 7:
A system notification will appear 10 minutes before the end. If you no longer need to turn off the computer, you can stop the countdown by simply adding the –a parameter to the command:
This will disable the countdown.
System information - systeminfo
As the name implies, the command will show the user some information about the system and the user's hardware:
But still, to view the parameters of the computer, it is better to use programs like AIDA64.
Clearing the screen - cls
The command allows you to clear the screen of previously entered commands. It is entered just like that, without parameters.
Getting information about network settings - ipconfig
The command without entering additional parameters will display information about the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway of each of the connected network adapters. For more detailed information, the command is entered with the parameter:
This is how you can find out the MAC addresses of network cards, current DNS servers, IP routing status, and more.
Check disk for errors - chkdsk
Designed to check logical drives and search for possible errors. If no additional parameters have been entered, the screen will display information about the status of the disc. Also, along with this command, some of its parameters are often used:
/ f - fixes errors found on the disk. In this case, before starting the check, the disk must be locked. If this is not done, the system will ask for verification the next time it starts.
/ v - displays the name of each file and directory being scanned during the scan.
/ r - detects bad sectors and recovers all data that can be recovered.
Formatting a disk - format
Formats a hard drive or USB flash drive. It is written as follows:
DO NOT PERFORM THIS COMMAND IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHY, OTHERWISE MAY LOSE YOUR DATA!
Additional parameters for the command:
/ fs - defines the file system of the formatted disk;
/ v - sets the volume label;
/ a - sets the cluster size. This parameter is optional, the system can detect the cluster automatically, according to the disk size. Other commands may be specified, but they will not be listed here.
You can format disks in windows 7 not only from the command line, but also from the context menu of the disk in Explorer.
Information about running processes - tasklist
The command launches a utility that displays a list of running processes (with PID codes), and also provides information about the amount of RAM consumed by each process. Without additional parameters, the utility will simply display a list of processes running on the computer:
If you need to view all processes running on a remote PC, the / s parameter is written in the command and the IP address or domain name of the required computer is indicated.
Terminating processes - taskkill
The command stops the process started by the local or remote system. To stop the process by id, use the / pid parameter. That is, the command will look something like this:
taskkill / pid 5637, where 5637 is the PID (Process ID)
It is also possible to stop the process with a specific image name, for this you need to add the / im parameter. Subsequently, the command will look like this:
taskkill / im notepad.exe, where "notepad.exe" is your program name.
Sometimes it's just too lazy to look for a program in the Start menu and then I just type the name of the file being launched in the Run window. Most used by me:
Registry Editor - regedit
Many have already had the opportunity to get acquainted with this utility, it is the system registry editor. With it, the hidden settings of the operating system are changed, and there is no need to go there without proper knowledge, otherwise you can break windows.
System configuration - msconfig
Will call the special service "System Configuration".
Basically, most users have already encountered this window. Most often it is used to disable startup programs.
System file checker - sfc
Runs a utility that repairs damaged system files. A very useful utility that can be supplemented with some commands:
/ scannow - for immediate scanning of protected system files;
/ scanonce - to scan protected system files once at the next system startup;
/ scanboot - for checking protected system files every time the system starts.
If the scan detects damaged or "left" files, the program will ask you to insert a disk with the windows installation distribution kit.
appwiz.cpl - opens the standard Add or Remove Programs window
calc - Windows built-in Calculator
notepad - notepad
pbrush - "Paint" graphics editor
diskmgmt.msc - disk management window, here you can split the hard disk into partitions
services.msc - manage system services
In conclusion
Here is a minimal set of commands that you can use when working with the console. There are many more useful, or even just interesting commands, many of which the user can learn on their own. To do this, simply enter the "help" command in the windows 7/8 command line, and it will show the available commands.
And in order to find out detailed information about any of them, you just need to enter a HELP request and specify the command name after a space. After that, the console will display all the necessary information, including the syntax and other components of the command.
That's all, here is a short video on how to run the command line in windows 7 and how to execute commands

Run windows 7 command line
This article will talk about the windows command line, what it is and what it is used for.
The windows command line (sometimes called "console", "environment") is a software product from Microsoft that uses the cmd.exe command interpreter and allows a computer user to interact with the operating system by entering MS-DOS commands using the keyboard.
It so happened that many of the functions that allow you to more finely manage the operating system are simply not available in the graphical interface, so the windows console is the only way to use them.
How to run command prompt in windows 7?
1st way:
Go to "Start" -\u003e "Run", in the window write the command "cmd" and click "OK".
2nd way:
"Start" -\u003e in the search bar we write "command" or "cmd". Windows itself will find what we need, we just have to choose.
3rd way:
We go to "Start", select "All programs", then - "Standard" and in the list we are looking for the item "Command line" that interests us.
4th way:
Go to "My Computer", then "Local drive C", folder "windows", "System 32". After that we find the CMD.exe file and open it.
It doesn't matter which method you choose, you will get the same result:
It happens that you need to open the windows 7 command line as administrator. This can be done quite easily using the second or third method described above. The only thing that will be different is that to run you need to right-click and select "Run as administrator".
To get acquainted with the commands supported by the Windows console, just enter the "help" command.

Command line in windows 7
The windows 7 command line is a Windows feature that allows you to enter MS-DOS and other computer commands. The importance of this command line is that it allows you to perform tasks without using the windows graphical interface. Usually the command line is used only by advanced users.
When working with the command line, the term command line itself also refers to the closing angle bracket (\u003e). This indicates that the CLI can accept commands.
The current working directory where this command will run can be specified on the command line. For example, if, when you open a command prompt window, this line displays the text "C: \\\u003e" and a blinking cursor to the right of the angle bracket (\u003e), this means that the command entered will be executed on the C drive of this computer.
Running command line in windows 7
There are several ways to launch the command line. Consider launching the Command Prompt under the current user account:
- Press Win + R (Start - Run), enter cmd command and click OK
As you can see, the command line has been launched with the rights of the current user! For a list of commonly used commands, at a command prompt, type help and press Enter. To display more information about each of these commands, type help command_name, where command_name is the name of the command you want more information about (for example, help ping).
New cmd in windows 10 - on my own I want to note that there are much more ways to open the command line in windows 10 and you can choose more convenient options for yourself (read the life hack by following the link).
Run command line as administrator
Some commands may require administrator rights to run. To run the command line with administrator rights, you must do the following:
- Start - All programs - Accessories - Command line, press the right key and select "Run as administrator".

Command line (console) on windows 7
The system console came to windows from the older MS-Dos operating system, which did not yet have any graphical interface. All work with the PC was carried out using text commands. Users of those times knew hundreds of service words and various parameters for launching applications, configuring the network, changing computer settings, and so on. The current command line in windows 7 is fraught with a variety of secrets that can seriously help when working with a PC. This article describes how to open the utility and provides a list of common commands.
How to open using the GUI
There are several ways to open the console.
The first does not require the use of a keyboard, which is suitable for users who are not used to entering commands:
You can also create a shortcut by calling the context menu by pressing RMB. Select the action "Send" and then "To Desktop". This will allow you to quickly open the program.
Launching with the keyboard
The second method looks easier if you have many applications installed that clutter the list of programs:
And finally, the third method, favored by experienced and advanced users who are used to controlling their PC from the keyboard:
Management secrets
The windows 7 command line may seem rather inhospitable to ordinary users of a personal computer. To work comfortably with her, you need to learn simple secrets.
The command line in the Windows 7 operating system is a special feature of this operating system. It can be used to enter MS-DOS commands and various other computer commands.
What is the advantage of the command line? With it, you can quickly perform various actions without using the main interface of the operating system.
There are several ways to launch the command line.
The command line can be opened with a keyboard shortcut. To do this, you must press the following combination on your keyboard "Win" + "R"... Key "Win" - this is a button with an operating system icon, or in a simple way - the "start" key.
This will open the Run window. In the active line of this window, you must enter the following "Cmd". 
This will open a Windows 7 Command Prompt window. 
If you need to perform operations on the command line as an administrator, you will need to go to "Start" — "All programs" — "Standard" — "Command line"... Then you need to right-click and select "Run as administrator".
The command line is a special program that allows you to control the operating system using text commands entered in the application window. Its interface is completely textual, in contrast to the usual look of the operating system.
Performing actions using text expressions is, of course, not as convenient as clicking on the icons on the screen, selecting menu items, opening program windows. But sometimes it is simply necessary to open the command line, for example, in case of system problems, working with network and equipment settings, calling system applications. Here are some examples of its use:
- The systeminfo command collects information about the system, including installed updates and network information. The graphical interface does not provide for such data.
- chkdsk - check the disk for errors and generate a report.
- sfc / scannow is a useful command to start scanning and repairing damaged files.
- ipconfig - allows you to find out the IP address of your computer in a split second.
- ping - check the network operation in case of problems with the router.
- help - the command line will display a list of possible commands with brief information about them.
These are just a few examples of useful uses of this application. In addition, through the program window, you can quite successfully work on a computer without using a mouse.
Inclusion methods
There are several options to open Windows Command Prompt:
In versions higher than Windows 8, in order to apply this method, you need to click on the magnifying glass next to the username.
Also for quick launch, you can create a desktop shortcut and hotkeys. You can create a shortcut like this:
- In the Explorer window, find the "Windows \\ System32" folder, right-click on the cmd.exe file in it, then "Create shortcut" and select a name for it.
- Right-click on an empty space on the screen, find "Create shortcut" in the context menu. In the field that appears, type C: \\ Windows \\ System32 \\ cmd.exe. Next, select a name and click OK.
Now you can assign hotkeys. Call the shortcut menu of the created shortcut, click "Properties", the "Shortcut" tab, in the "Shortcut" field, enter the required combination.
Please note that when you start using a shortcut, search box and Explorer, the command line is launched from the System32 folder, and using the "Run" item of the "Start" menu from the Users folder of your computer.
Opening with extended rights
Among the methods discussed, some allow you to enable the command line as an administrator. The fact is that even if in your current work you use the Administrator account, you do not have full rights to manage the system. This is done to improve reliability and reduce the risk of damage from malware.
Running as administrator is a different concept than an administrator account. It involves raising the level of rights, obtaining the highest access by the program to change the system. Thus, more functions will become available in the application (in our case, on the command line). They are simply locked during normal opening. For example, if you want to disable User Account Control through cmd.exe, in normal mode this will not be available, only as an administrator.
Thus, the command line is a kind of universal Windows system management tool that allows you to perform various tasks without switching between many windows, menus, programs. All commands are directed through a text typing window, you can quickly change network settings, security settings, check or format drives and many other functions in seconds.
