Command Prompt is one of the most powerful tools in Windows; but sadly, it is also the most ignored one.

This ultimately lead the command prompt into obscurity.
However, the command prompt is not useless. In fact, it can be pretty useful. This article provides some excellent tricks, secrets and hacks that will make you realize that the Windows Command Prompt is not only useful but also a tool that you should definitely give more respect to.
