21 Command Prompt Tricks and Hacks
Command Prompt Tricks, Hacks, and Secrets in Windows 7, 8, Vista, and XP
The Windows Command Prompt tool, and many of its commands , might seem boring or even relatively useless at first glance, but as anyone who
has ever used the Command Prompt very often can tell you, there's much to love!
Below are several Command Prompt tricks and other Command Prompt hacks that I guarantee will get you excited about many of the mundane
sounding Command Prompt commands like telnet, tree, or robocopy... okay, robocopy sounds pretty cool.
Some of these Command Prompt tricks and hacks are special features or uses of the Command Prompt itself, while others are just neat or relatively
unknown things you can do with certain commands. Enjoy!
1. Use Ctrl-C to Abort a Command
Just about any command can be stopped in its tracks with the abort command: Ctrl-C .
If you haven't actually executed a command, you can just backspace and erase what you've typed, but if you've already
executed it then you can do a Ctrl-C to stop it.
Warning: Ctrl-C isn't a magic wand and it can't undo things that aren't undoable, like a partially complete format command .
However, for things like the dir command that seem to go on forever or questions you're asked at the prompt that you don't
know the answer to, the abort command is an excellent Command Prompt trick to know.
2. View a Command's Results One Page (or Line) at a Time
Ever run a command, like the dir command, that produces so much information on the screen that it's almost useless? You're not
alone.
One way around this is to execute the command in a special way so whatever information is generated is shown to you one
page, or one line, at a time.
To do this, just type the command, the dir command for example, and then follow it with the pipe redirection operator and then
the more command.
For example, executing dir /s | more will generate the thousands of lines of results that you expect from the dir command, but
the more command will pause each page of results with -- More -- at the bottom of the page, indicating that the command is
not done running.
Just press the space bar to advance by page or press the Enter key to advance one line at a time.
See Command Prompt Trick #7 below for a different solution to this problem.
3. Run Command Prompt as an Administrator Automatically
Many commands require that you execute them from an elevated Command Prompt in Windows - in other words, execute
them from a Command Prompt that's run as an administrator.
You can always right-click on any Command Prompt shortcut and choose Run as administrator but creating a shortcut to do the
same thing can be a huge time saver if you're a frequent Command Prompt power user.
To complete this Command Prompt trick, just create a Command Prompt shortcut on the desktop, enter the shortcut's properties
and then select the Run as administrator box located in the Advanced button on the Shortcut tab.
4. Become a Command Prompt Power User with Function Keys
The fact that the function keys actually do something in the Command Prompt is maybe one of the best kept secrets about the
tool:
F1: Pastes the last executed command (character by character)
F2: Pastes the last executed command (up to the entered character)
F3: Pastes the last executed command
F4: Deletes current prompt text up to the entered character
F5: Pastes recently executed commands (does not cycle)
F6: Pastes ^Z to the prompt
F7: Displays a selectable list of previously executed commands
F8: Pastes recently executed commands (cycles)
F9: Asks for the number of the command from the F7 list to paste
Command Prompt Trick #17 is full of arrow key shortcuts, a few of which are similar to these function key tricks.

pcsupport.about.com/od/commandlinereference/tp/command-prompt-tricks-hacks.htm?p=1 2/3
5. Hack the Prompt Text
Did you know that the prompt itself in the Command Prompt is completely customizable thanks to the prompt command? It is,
and when I say customizable, I mean really customizable.
Instead of C:\>, you can set the prompt to any text you want, have it include the time, the current drive, the Windows version
number , you name it.
One useful example is prompt $m$p$g which will show the full path of a mapped drive in the prompt, alongside the drive letter.
You can always execute prompt alone, without options, to return it to its sometimes boring default.
6. Get Help for Any Command
Believe it or not, the help command does not provide help for every Command Prompt command. However, any command can
be suffixed with the /? option, usually called the help switch , to display detailed information about the command's syntax and
often times even some examples.
I doubt that the help switch is the coolest Command Prompt trick you've ever heard of, but it's hard to disagree that it's one of
the more useful.
Unfortunately, neither the help command nor the help switch offer much in the way of explaining how to interpret the syntax.
See How To Read Command Syntax if you need help with that.
7. Save a Command's Output to a File
An incredibly useful Command Prompt trick is the use of redirection operators , specifically the > and >> operators.
These little characters let you redirect the output of a command to a file, giving you a saved version of whatever data the
command produced in the Command Prompt window.
Let's say you're about to post a computer problem to an online forum, like my computer support forum for example, and you
want to provide really accurate information about your computer. An easy way to do that would be to use the systeminfo
command with a redirection operator.
For example, you might execute systeminfo > c:\mycomputerinfo.txt to save the information provided by the systeminfo
command to a file. You could then attach the file to your forum post.
See How To Redirect Command Output to a File for more examples and a better explanation of how to use redirection
operators.
8. View Your Hard Drive's Entire Directory Structure
I think one of the neatest little commands is the tree command. With tree, you can create a kind of map of your computer's
directories.
Execute tree from any directory to see the folder structure under that directory.
Tip: With so much information, it's probably a good idea to export the results of the tree command to a file. For example, tree /a
> c:\treeresults.txt, just as explained in Command Prompt Trick #7.
9. Customize the Command Prompt Title Bar Text
Tired of that Command Prompt title bar text? No problem, just use the title command to change it to whatever you like.
For example, let's say your name is Maria Smith, and you want to express your ownership of the Command Prompt: execute title
Property of Maria Smith and the Command Prompt's title bar will change immediately.
The change won't stick, so the next time you open Command Prompt the title bar will be back to normal.
The title command is usually used to help give a custom appearance in script files and batch files... not that I'm saying titling it
with your name isn't a good idea!
10. Copy From the Command Prompt
As you may or may not know, copying from the Command Prompt is not as easy as copying from other programs, which is part of
the reason why saving a command's output to a file, Command Prompt Trick #7, is so handy.
But what if you do just want to copy a short section of text to the clipboard? It's not too hard but it's not very intuitive either.
Right-click anywhere in the Command Prompt window and choose Mark. Now, highlight with your left mouse button whatever
you'd like to copy. Once your selection is made, press Enter.
Now you can paste that information into whatever program you'd like.

Windows PowerShell (x86) Digital Certificate Self Signed
PS C:\Users\oldharry> get-help about_signing
TOPIC
about_signing
SHORT DESCRIPTION
Explains to how sign scripts so that they comply with the Windows
PowerShell execution policies.
LONG DESCRIPTION
The Restricted execution policy does not permit any scripts to run.
The AllSigned and RemoteSigned execution policies prevent Windows
PowerShell from running scripts that do not have a digital signature.
This topic explains how to run selected scripts that are not signed,
even while the execution policy is RemoteSigned, and how to sign
scripts for your own use.
For more information about Windows PowerShell execution policies,
see about_Execution_Policy.
TO PERMIT SIGNED SCRIPTS TO RUN
-------------------------------
When you start Windows PowerShell on a computer for the first time, the
Restricted execution policy (the default) is likely to be in effect.
The Restricted policy does not permit any scripts to run.
To find the effective execution policy on your computer, type:
get-executionpolicy
To run unsigned scripts that you write on your local computer and signed
scripts from other users, use the following command to change the execution
policy on the computer to RemoteSigned:
set-executionpolicy remotesigned
For more information, see Set-ExecutionPolicy.
RUNNING UNSIGNED SCRIPTS (REMOTESIGNED EXECUTION POLICY)
--------------------------------------------------------
If your Windows PowerShell execution policy is RemoteSigned, Windows
PowerShell will not run unsigned scripts that are downloaded from the
Internet, including unsigned scripts you receive through e-mail and instant
messaging programs.
If you try to run a downloaded script, Windows PowerShell displays the
following error message:
The file <file-name> cannot be loaded. The file
<file-name> is not digitally signed. The script
will not execute on the system. Please see "Get-Help
about_signing" for more details.
Before you run the script, review the code to be sure that you trust it.
Scripts have the same effect as any executable program.
To run an unsigned script:
1. Save the script file on your computer.
2. Click Start, click My Computer, and locate the saved script file.
3. Right-click the script file, and then click Properties.
4. Click Unblock.
If a script that was downloaded from the Internet is digitally signed, but
you have not yet chosen to trust its publisher, Windows PowerShell displays
the following message:
Do you want to run software from this untrusted publisher?
The file <file-name> is published by CN=<publisher-name>. This
publisher is not trusted on your system. Only run scripts
from trusted publishers.
[V] Never run [D] Do not run [R] Run once [A] Always run
[?] Help (default is "D"):
If you trust the publisher, select "Run once" or "Always run."
If you do not trust the publisher, select either "Never run" or
"Do not run." If you select "Never run" or "Always run," Windows
PowerShell will not prompt you again for this publisher.
METHODS OF SIGNING SCRIPTS
--------------------------
You can sign the scripts that you write and the scripts that you obtain
from other sources. Before you sign any script, examine each command
to verify that it is safe to run.
For best practices about code signing, see "Code-Signing
Best Practices" at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=119096.
For more information about how to sign a script file, see
Set-AuthenticodeSignature.
To add a digital signature to a script, you must sign it with a code
signing certificate. Two types of certificates are suitable for signing
a script file:
-- Certificates that are created by a certification authority:
For a fee, a public certificate authority verifies your
identity and gives you a code signing certificate. When
you purchase your certificate from a reputable certification
authority, you are able to share your script with users
on other computers that are running Windows because those other
computers trust the certification authority.
-- Certificates that you create:
You can create a self-signed certificate for which
your computer is the authority that creates the certificate.
This certificate is free of charge and enables you to write,
sign, and run scripts on your computer. However, a script
signed by a self-signed certificate will not run on other
computers.
Typically, you would use a self-signed certificate only to sign
scripts that you write for your own use and to sign scripts that you get
from other sources that you have verified to be safe. It is not
appropriate for scripts that will be shared, even within an enterprise.
If you create a self-signed certificate, be sure to enable strong
private key protection on your certificate. This prevents malicious
programs from signing scripts on your behalf. The instructions are
included at the end of this topic.
CREATE A SELF-SIGNED CERTIFICATE
--------------------------------
To create a self-signed certificate, use the Certificate Creation
tool (MakeCert.exe). This tool is included in the Microsoft .NET Framework
SDK (versions 1.1 and later) and in the Microsoft Windows SDK.
For more information about the syntax and the parameter descriptions of the
MakeCert.exe tool, see "Certificate Creation Tool (MakeCert.exe)" in the
MSDN (Microsoft Developer Network) library at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=119097.
To use the MakeCert.exe tool to create a certificate, run the following
commands in an SDK Command Prompt window.
Note: The first command creates a local certification authority for
your computer. The second command generates a personal
certificate from the certification authority.
Note: You can copy or type the commands exactly as they appear.
No substitutions are necessary, although you can change the
certificate name.
makecert -n "CN=PowerShell Local Certificate Root" -a sha1 `
-eku 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.3 -r -sv root.pvk root.cer `
-ss Root -sr localMachine
makecert -pe -n "CN=PowerShell User" -ss MY -a sha1 `
-eku 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.3 -iv root.pvk -ic root.cer
The MakeCert.exe tool will prompt you for a private key password. The
password ensures that no one can use or access the certificate without
your consent. Create and enter a password that you can remember. You will
use this password later to retrieve the certificate.
To verify that the certificate was generated correctly, use the
following command to get the certificate in the certificate
store on the computer. (You will not find a certificate file in the
file system directory.)
At the Windows PowerShell prompt, type:
get-childitem cert:\CurrentUser\my -codesigning
This command uses the Windows PowerShell Certificate provider to view
information about the certificate.
If the certificate was created, the output shows the thumbprint
that identifies the certificate in a display that resembles the following:
Directory: Microsoft.PowerShell.Security\Certificate::CurrentUser\My
Thumbprint Subject
---------- -------
4D4917CB140714BA5B81B96E0B18AAF2C4564FDF CN=PowerShell User ]
SIGN A SCRIPT
-------------
After you create a self-signed certificate, you can sign scripts. If you
use the AllSigned execution policy, signing a script permits you to run
the script on your computer.
The following sample script, Add-Signature.ps1, signs a script. However,
if you are using the AllSigned execution policy, you must sign the
Add-Signature.ps1 script before you run it.
To use this script, copy the following text into a text file, and
name it Add-Signature.ps1.
Note: Be sure that the script file does not have a .txt file name
extension. If your text editor appends ".txt", enclose the file name
in quotation marks: "add-signature.ps1".
## add-signature.ps1
## Signs a file
param([string] $file=$(throw "Please specify a filename."))
$cert = @(Get-ChildItem cert:\CurrentUser\My -codesigning)[0]
Set-AuthenticodeSignature $file $cert
To sign the Add-Signature.ps1 script file, type the following commands at
the Windows PowerShell command prompt:
$cert = @(Get-ChildItem cert:\CurrentUser\My -codesigning)[0]
Set-AuthenticodeSignature add-signature.ps1 $cert
After the script is signed, you can run it on the local computer.
However, the script will not run on computers on which the Windows
PowerShell execution policy requires a digital signature from a
trusted authority. If you try, Windows PowerShell displays the following
error message:
The file C:\remote_file.ps1 cannot be loaded. The signature of the
certificate cannot be verified.
At line:1 char:15
+ .\ remote_file.ps1 <<<<
If Windows PowerShell displays this message when you run a
script that you did not write, treat the file as you would treat any
unsigned script. Review the code to determine whether you can trust the
script.
ENABLE STRONG PRIVATE KEY PROTECTION FOR YOUR CERTIFICATE
---------------------------------------------------------
If you have a private certificate on your computer, malicious
programs might be able to sign scripts on your behalf, which
authorizes Windows PowerShell to run them.
To prevent automated signing on your behalf, use Certificate
Manager (Certmgr.exe) to export your signing certificate to
a .pfx file. Certificate Manager is included in the Microsoft
.NET Framework SDK, the Microsoft Windows SDK, and in Internet
Explorer 5.0 and later versions.
To export the certificate:
1. Start Certificate Manager.
2. Select the certificate issued by PowerShell Local Certificate Root.
3. Click Export to start the Certificate Export Wizard.
4. Select "Yes, export the private key", and then click Next.
5. Select "Enable strong protection."
6. Type a password, and then type it again to confirm.
7. Type a file name that has the .pfx file name extension.
8. Click Finish.
To re-import the certificate:
1. Start Certificate Manager.
2. Click Import to start the Certificate Import Wizard.
3. Open to the location of the .pfx file that you created during the
export process.
4. On the Password page, select "Enable strong private key protection",
and then enter the password that you assigned during the export
process.
5. Select the Personal certificate store.
6. Click Finish.
PREVENT THE SIGNATURE FROM EXPIRING
-----------------------------------
The digital signature in a script is valid until the signing certificate
expires or as long as a time stamp server can verify that the script was
signed while the signing certificate was valid.
Because most signing certificates are valid for one year only, using a
time stamp server ensures that users can use your script for many years
to come.

Solution: SSL Error Citrix Receiver - Error 61 - Ubuntu - You have not chosen to trust "/C=US/ST=/L=/0=Equifax/OU=Equifax Secure Certificate Authority/CN=", the issuer of the server's security certificate (SSL error 61).
Solution: SSL Error Citrix Receiver - Error 61 - You have not chosen to trust "/C=US/ST=/L=/0=Equifax/OU=Equifax Secure Certificate Authority/CN=", the issuer of the server's security certificate (SSL error 61).
====================================
Solution.
1. Visit the GeoTrust Certificate Authority Web Site. Here is the URL of the exact page you need to visit: http://www.geotrust.com/resources/root-certificates/index.html
2. Near the top of the page, there are two links to verify Equifax's certificate. Right click the lower of the two links. Chose 'save' from the context sensitive menu that you'll see upon right clicking the lower of the two URLs associated with Equifax. You want the 'der' encoded x.509 certificate.
3. Rename the .cer to .crt.
4. As root copy the file from its saved download location to /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts/
** Step 4. In a console, bash shell, navigate to the folder that contains the saved/downloaded certificate: type sudo cp Equifax_* /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts/
5. You're done and now should be able to open your ".ica" files

Acer Aspire One BIOS Recovery
http://macles.blogspot.com/2008/08/acer-aspire-one-bios-recovery.html
Acer Aspire One BIOS Recovery
The Acer Aspire One has a built-in BIOS recovery routine, which can boot into a minimal BIOS environment via a special boot block to re-flash the BIOS, even if the system does not pass POST and does otherwise not boot anymore. This procedure is also known as Crisis Disk.
First format an USB flash drive with FAT. It does not need to be bootable.
Download the latest BIOS, and extract all files. Put both FLASHIT.EXE and the BIOS file with FD suffix in the root directory of the flash drive. The files must not be in a folder. Rename the BIOS file to ZG5IA32.FD before proceeding. It only works with this exact filename.
Turn the AA1 off, and verify both battery and AC adapter are plugged in.
Press Fn and Esc simultaneously, keep them pressed and press the power button. Release Fn+Esc after a few seconds. The power button starts blinking at this point. Press it once. The AA1 will now access the files on the flash drive and initiate flashing the BIOS. After a while the power button stops blinking, and the AA1 reboots by itself. Wait patiently.
If it doesn't reboot, but keeps blinking, wait at least a few minutes before turning it off, and try again.
