Information

A command prompt is an entry point for typing computer commands in the Command Prompt window. By typing commands at the command prompt, you can perform tasks on your computer without using the Windows graphical interface.

This tutorial will provide a reference list of all commands that can be used in a command prompt and command script (ex: .cmd or .bat) file in Windows 8 and 8.1.
