CMD windows10

[Flowey]

So i just learned how to access the CMD Windows (yes, call me ignorant if you wish) and I'm wondering what kind of useful stuff I can do with it. Like, can I do something quicker then with the regular interface? What about casual stuff, like gaming and monitoring system specs? I've read the help page with all the command but I can't find any use for them.

Anyhow thx!

It's not really any quicker than just going through the GUI and clicking on stuff. At least, not for most things. Some network related commands and operations can be performed faster through CMD. 

It can be used for compiling and launching things like Java code, but even then it's quicker to make a .bat file to automate the process.

No really for gaming ... how do you monitor your system specs? do they change often or something?

Write a script to test your ping to a certain server to, well, check your ping before you get in the game.

Not really, everything you want to do on CMD will take longer but give you MUCH more control over what that task may be. For example if you try to delete a system partition via the graphical interface it will say that you cant, If you use DISKPART via CMD and try to issue the same command it will do the task without question... CMD is much more powerful and much more dangerous if you dont know what you're doing (no "are you sure?" prompts).

So it's more like a tool that an admin on a server would use i guess? That's sad, I'd have like to play pranks on friends"oh yeah I'm casually transferring "insert xxx website name here" revenues to my bank account, mmmmyes.
