The Command Prompt in Windows Vista provides access to over 180 command line commands.
The commands available in Windows Vista are usually used to automate tasks, create script files, and complete certain troubleshooting and diagnostic steps.
Note: Windows Vista Command Prompt commands are similar to classic MS-DOS commands. However, the Command Prompt in Windows Vista is not actually MS-DOS even though the commands are similar.
