If you didn’t come from tiktok raise your hand 🤚🏽

There is one more interesting thing about CMD that not everyone knows.
CMD is very respectful of your file shortcut.
If you create a shortcut for your batch script and associate it with a custom icon, then the console window launched by this shortcut will take not only the shortcut name in the window header, but also the selected icon. I don't think any other file (like a text file) behaves like this.

Don't run the wifi password reveal command on your work computer. 3 hours after I ran this I got a call from my boss. He said, "if it was you that ran this command it's ok, if not we need to know." I told him I had learned how to do this from Chuck. Thanks Chuck for getting me in trouble!

I know some of these from DOS. I like the energy he brings to the video. He's like a kid sharing an exciting secret.

As someone old enough to have started with the command prompt, those first few F keys were helpful when having to rerun command with changes - different options, corrections, etc.

The use case for F2 is actually pretty handy. If you're running various back to back commands but using alternate properties or changing directories for the command, you can simply revert back to command core and make those alterations by remembering the last character of the command you want to edit for the next line. An extremely basic example of this might be "ipconfig /release F2 r" where you can then complete the command with "renew". F4 can similarly edit the beginning of the command.

You're a godsend, dude. You got me interested in Linux, and after I've had a draining past few months trying to get through a lot of dry information for the A+ (because I tried to focus on the hardware - my biggest weakness - and not the scripting and pentesting/cyber defense aspects that I love), I'd about lost my drive for studying. I've been trying everything and just felt like a burnout loser. I came back and watched two of your videos and, already, I feel my motivation coming back. Your stuff is fast-paced and direct, and it helps my brain to get psyched up so damn much. Thank you!!!

[ArmchairRamb]

I love how quickly your videos run. Definitely adds value, I learn a lot. Thanks.

That's not NetworkChuck, it's Harry Potter! ⚡

I love these tips but I wish there was more detail regarding what each part of the command (i.e "-s" or "+h") does! Great video Chuck!!

[joejamesphoto]

Dude, the quality here is top notch. Quality content, tips, editing, entertainment... Everything

[tylercoombs]

This was great, i thought this was going to be another typical list of windows shell commands but there was a bunch of commands you never see and even some light scripting involved.
I learned a couple of things today. Really appreciate it!!!

I feel that Chuck and David Bombal compliment each other really well. On one hand Chuck is really enthusiastic and full of energy (which is great), and David is more cool calm and collected. Both are great teachers

the color command only holds until you restart console. If you want to keep the selected colors permanently, you have to right click the shortcut, properties, and then change the colors through the "colors" tab. This will ensure your colors will stay even after restarting cmd

Thanks for the links in the description.
Happy to see mind-blowing results on cmd.

[TheCocoaDaddy]

Awesome!!!! The command to display wireless network passwords is all I need. You rock! THANK YOU for this!!!!

Here's a really awesome one that you didn't mention - Bookmarking previous commands:
Hold down ALT and press any number from 1-4. If you see nothing or it says "Digit argument" then you'll have to use the F keys instead, eg. F1, F2 etc.

I think there are even a few commands that work in the address bar. Try the attrib command there next time you need it for something. Just make sure you are in the folder you want to do it to the contents of. Try other commands but use them cautiously if they can cause any damage, just in case they do work!! It is your responsibility to back your files up and decide what you do with your own PC and I am not liable if you mess anything up or lose any important data. Remember that thing I said about backup copies? The more important that data is the more of those backup copies you may want to keep!! Unless you have it in some other form, once it is gone it is gone for good and you will not get it back or if you do it will not be easy!!
