The Command Prompt in Windows XP provides access to almost 180 commands.
The commands available in Windows XP are typically used to automate tasks, create batch/script files, and perform various kinds of troubleshooting and diagnostics.
Note: Windows XP Command Prompt commands might look and act like MS-DOS commands but they are not MS-DOS commands and the XP Command Prompt is not MS-DOS. I do have a real list of DOS Commands if you're actually using MS-DOS.
Not Using Windows XP? I also have detailed lists of Windows 8 commands, Windows 7 commands, and Windows Vista commands or you can see details on every command ever available in my list of CMD commands or a one-page, detail free table of the same here.
Below is a complete list of commands available via the Command Prompt in Windows XP:
append - net | netsh - xcopy
Append
The append command can be used by programs to open files in another directory as if they were located in the current directory.
The append command is not available in 64-bit versions of Windows XP.
