Most Wanted Windows DOS Commands.
Occasionally on your Windows computer, you may need to perform a
procedure by typing in commands at the ' Command Prompt'. Entering
commands in this way allows you to bypass the Windows graphical
user interface and communicate directly with the operating system.
You are most likely to need to work in this way if you get an infection
and have to disinfect your computer from the command line, for
example, using SAV32CLI or SWEEP.EXE .
To communicate through the Windows command line, you will need
to use MS-DOS commands. This article lists some basic DOS
commands that you are likely to find useful when working from the
command line, but there are many more available.
