What is Command Prompt?

WHAT IS COMMAND PROMPT ?

You would probably say that It is just the simple black screen... Right?. Yes you are right..but just a one word 'black screen' cannot describe it..command prompt aka cmd or cmd.exe is the
windows inbuilt function or call program from which you can do whatever the fu*k you want to do with your personal computer having windows operating system from just typing some commands in that black screen. basically it is a servant of a user so, therefore you (the admin) can give any command or order to your servant and it'll do it honestly. but, you have to keep in mind that it can only understand the commands in it's own unique language. it is where the power of admin gets down. because not every admin(user) knows the language of command prompt. so to give it commands and to get your work from it you have to first know the commands in cmd language. For example, executing the dir command will show a list of files and folders that exist at any specific location on the computer, but it doesn't actually do anything. However, change just a couple letters and it turns into the del command, which is how you delete files from Command Prompt!

Command Prompt is a case sensitive. so you have to be careful while writing the commands in it. even a single space in del can delete the entirely different data. 

There is different commands for every windows operating system. so, most of the time you can't use windows XP commands in your windows 10 pc.


HOW TO OPEN COMMAND PROMPT  :- 


As shown in picture you have to open cmd.exe in administrator mode because it most of the cases commands require admin mode to execute.
