Some Useful Windows Command (CMD)

Windows command promt interface and its commands seems boring at first glance, but it is really interesting and even faster that GUI interface. You'll love its interface once you get familier. Have a look at few important commands:

1. Save a Command's Output to a File

It is really ipmortant command which allows you to save your output to save as a notepad file.
For example, you might execute systeminfo > d:\report.txt to save the information provided by the systeminfo command to that file.

You can make your files SuperHidden now, For example,
attrib d:\report.txt +h +s Here +H used to make files hidden and +S used to make files system hidden.
Again to unhide, do the reverse process attrib d:\report.txt -h -s

I found one of the most important fsutil command to create a HardLink. Hardlink is a command under fsutil which allows you to create a backup TXT file for the original file(.txt). Use the below command to create a hardlink:
fsutil hardlink create d:\backup.txt d:\source.txt. See below screenshot, how to create hardlink:
