Windows Command Prompt (part 8)

Ok.. after 3 weeks i forget about this cmd part........ next command are:

  • Label. Label is used to view or change (rename) the label of computer disk drive. You will get the same result with renaming or giving name in My Computer.
    Here is the syntax : label [drive:][label], so if you going to give name or rename your C:\ drive, just type:

    label C: system

    [label] can be anything you wish for.
  • MD. MD is abbreviation from Make Directory. So it's clearly now that MD is used to creates a new directory/folder on your drive. Just type like:

    md music
  • MKDIR. same as MD above :)
  • MORE. is used to displays a long output in continued area. This command is used after another command in pipe (|). For example:
    dir | more
    net view | more
    etc
  • MOVE. this is used to moves files and renames files and directory. There are two option that you can use, so the first option's syntax to move is move [/y | /-y] [drive:][path]filename destination. if you already inside the path, you don't need to write path anymore. For Example:

    move c:\windows\explorer.exe D:

    or, if you already in windows folder just type:

    move explorer.exe D:

    and, for rename usage, i advice you use REN command than this complex command :p
  • PATH. Path is used to specify the location where MS-DOS looks when using a command. For example, when using the command "format", if the path is not specified to where the command is you will receive bad command or file name. Just type path and there it go
