He's been spending quality time with the family. Given the time that he has to spend apart from Mrs V and the ickles, I don't blame him for not wasting his time here when he gets chances like this.

Hi All,
I am using the dos/command prompt to run some java script and just noticed if you hit tab it auto completes the command aka Unix / Linux...
|

It's done that for a while, I believe, even Windows 7. What I really like about the command line window is that you can now paste with Ctrl+V, and you can cut by dragging the mouse over the desired text block.

Yeah, the older version where you had to use the control box to copy or paste was a PITA - I was forever forgetting.
I'm trying to remember to use PowerShell these days though. At a guess, MS will quietly replace CMD.exe in one of the Win10 updates - it seems odd to support the two on the same machine.

Done in 1703.

You sure? I'm running 1703, and the CMD and PS windows look very different. Plus one accepts commandlets like "rename-item" and the other doesn't.

They're still different beasts and always will be. Eventually MS will kill the Command Prompt for PowerShell.
I meant that 1703 replaced the Command Prompt links everywhere it could in 1703.

You can just use right click with the mouse too.

Ah! Awesome. Much more like PuTTY. ![Jig | [Dance]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/jig.gif) Heck, for all I know, the console window is an SSH terminal into some service!

You can also paste using right-click

Yes, I use it a lot and just got accustomed to right-clicking the Start button and selecting 'Command prompt admin' when a Windows update changed it to Powershell @#$%^&

WindowsKey + R, type "cmd" and press enter. Should work

I don't think that runs CMD as an admin, does it?

You're right. Didn't notice the admin bit.

You can always right-click on the icon on the taskbar once it's running (or better yet, pin the icon so it remains there permanently), and select Run as Admin.

Right-click on the taskbar, Taskbar Settings, then switch "Replace Command Prompt with Windows PowerShell" to the Off position.
|

It's been doing that since before you were old enough to go to the pub.

I'm pretty sure it hasn't, auto completion of DOS commands nearly made me drop Windows for Linux...

Every time I have to use the command prompt on Windows, I miss Linux.
