Windows XP Command Line Utilities: 


Windows XP boasts a number of command line tools that are guaranteed to satisfy even the most Linux hungry among us. I'll show them to you on tonight's show. 
Here's a list of some new tools mixed up with the old favorites that will make you love the command prompt as much as I do. A lot of these commands are intended for the XP Professional machine administrating a network, but they can serve a purpose for the home user as well.


bootcfg 
View your boot loader settings, such as your default OS and selection timeout, as well as your boot entries and load options. 


defrag 
You probably already guessed that this defrags your hard drive. Type only "defrag" into your command prompt to get a list of possible arguments, such as the drive letter and the type of output. 


diskpart 
Manages your disk partitions. After you type "diskpart" into your command prompt, your prompt will become "DISKPART." Type a question mark to get a list of possible arguments. Type exit to leave diskpart. 


driverquery 
Will get you a nice list of your drivers and their properties. 


fsutil 
This is a handy command. You can do everything from managing your hardlinks to querying the free space in a volume. Type "fsutil" into your command prompt, and you'll see a list of options. I choose "fsinfo" from the list, so I type "fsutil fsinfo" into the prompt. Now I get even more options, but I choose drives by typing "fsutil fsinfo drives." It's fun, it's easy, and you'll get the hang of it. Explore this utility. There are a lot of cool features and hidden twists. 


getmac 
This gets the MAC (Media Access Control) address. 


gpresult 
Get the RSoP, user settings, and computer group policy settings. 


netsh: 
A network configuration tool. Type "netsh" to enter the tool, or "netsh ...
