    Study Notes

    • The Windows Command Prompt is a tool with a Command Line Interface (CLI) that grants access to the operating system.
    • Users with standard privileges can run most commands, but for additional rights and permissions, use an elevated or administrative prompt.
    • To launch the command prompt as an administrator, search for "cmd" and press Control+Shift+Enter or choose the "Run as administrator" option.
    • The command prompt doesn't provide any information upon starting. Use the "help" command for assistance on other commands.
    • The dir command lists all files and directories in the current folder. Additionally, use the cd command to change directories and two dots (..) to move to the previous directory.
    • Create and remove folders using 'mkdir' and 'rmdir' commands, respectively. Abbreviate these as 'md' and 'rd' for quicker input.
    • The 'dir' command shows all files and folders within the working directory when at the command prompt.
    • Users can create folders by using the 'mkdir' command and specify a name, while removing folders with the 'rd' command.
    • The 'cd' command can be used to change directories by specifying the directory name or using the shortcut '..' to move back one directory.
    • The command prompt identifies the connected computer by its hostname, displayed when users type 'hostname' at the command prompt. This helps in differentiating between multiple command prompt windows on various devices.
    • A partition is an open area in a file system that can be filled with information, requiring a specific file system to be added.
