Back in May I started a series of posts about how to better take advantage of the Terminal in OS X, now months later without my MacBook Pro, I’ve resorted to DOS. I suppose it is only fair that DOS gets a series of its own.
[1] net user administrator /random
Who knew Windows XP had a random password generator built in? Just make sure and write it down, or else you’ll be in big trouble next time you try and login.
[2] label C: new drive name here
Sure you could just rename the volume from My Computer, but this is more fun. Swap out C: for whatever drive letter is attached to the volume you’d like to rename and you’re good to go.
[3] cls
Clears the screen. Simple, yet handy.
[4] dir
Displays a list of files in the current directory.
[5] rd directoryname
The RD command lets you remove entire directories, just replace the directoryname variable with the name of the directory you’d like to nuke and fire away.
