Here are some basic Windows commands that are good to know!
Hit Windows key + R or use the Search box to type these commands.
gpedit.msc
Group Policy Editor
services.msc
Services
devmgmt.msc
Device Manager
compmgmt.msc
Computer Management
This one is cool:
Crack open a command prompt. (Windows key + R or Search box -> cmd and Enter.)
Then type:
sfc /scannow
System File Checker verifies the integrity of and repairs Windows OS dll files. For Windows XP it will require you to insert the original Windows XP install CD.
To repair file system errors, boot a Windows CD to recovery mode, then run
chkdsk /r /v
For Windows 7 at the recovery command prompt, you may have to issue:
chkdsk /r /v c:
This can take a very long time. Slash ‘v’ is verbose and will give details of the process in action.
Sweet!
