Nice ones dave; but don’t forget the /f on the shutdown command to force shutdown. Helps out alot when you get errors or processes that don’t want to die and you need to restart the machine.

EX:

shutdown /r /f /t 0

I like these alot:

netsh winsock reset – reset the Winsock catalog
net view – list available network devices

shutdown /r /t:00 – restart the computer

xcopy /e /c /h /y – copy all files in this and all subdirectories, create subs if they don’t exist even if they’re empty, don’t stop on errors, copy system and hidden files, and don’t confirm file copy/replace. Useful when the GUI lets you down (and impressive to watch – the computer looks really busy!)
See xcopy/? for more…

A little intimidating at first look… but now, I use dos (batch files) every day. Just makes life a lot easier.

“net use” is a command I use almost daily to map drives in CLI

Syntax:

net use drive_letter_to_map server_location

Example:

net use K: \\server\share
