Here are the other switches and what they do.
attrib +a will make a file archive, that means you can't delete it.
attrib -a will do the opposite.
attrib +r will set the file as read-only, and this means no editing or deleting the file.
attrib -r will do the opposite.
attrib +s will set the file as a system file, and make Windows protect it, making it harder to be deleted. It will reappear once again if it's deleted.
attrib +s will do the opposite, but whether it helps in deleting files, I'm unsure. Never try.
attrib /s will show all the files and folders in that particular folder
attrib /d will show folders...
To produce a log file of these results, do this:
attrib /s > attrib.txt (name attrib.txt to any name that you like, but it must end with .txt or .log or nothing will show) -
COLOR
Easily change the foreground and background color of the MS DOS window.
Ect. COLOR 07/FC/58
Different combinations will give different colors
One of my itchy hand favorite command -
DEFRAG
Re-arrange the hard disk drive to help with loading programs.
*Note*
I think you have to be careful when using this command. Anything to do with re-arranging stuff you dont know... ask before you do -
POWER
Conserve power with computer portables. -
Make a batch file with thisOriginally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:To disturb people, go and create this file
shutdown -s -t 00
Will shutdown immediately, unless some programs crash or something. -
what i used to use...
format c: /(can't remember what letter) /(can't remember what letter)
defrag c: /(can't remember what letter)
dir/p
dir|list
rename blah.exe bleah.exe
edit config.sys
edit autoexec.bat
there's somemore, but its been years since i've touched dos. -
This one is OK as long as no programs are running and no screensaver, except disk defragmenter.Originally posted by sand king:DEFRAG

Best to run in Safe Mode, without anything disturbing it.
fdisk is what you need to be careful.
fdisk can delete or create partitions, once you do that, bye bye. -
Actually I got, because I very lazy to go to Start > Shutdown > ShutdownOriginally posted by sand king:Make a batch file with this
I created this batch file to turn off PC. Every time just double click can liao.
Another way to scare them, create this batch file:
@echo on
echo shutting down the computer
shutdown.exe -s -t 00
Save it as clickme.bat
Those itchy hand one will know what happen...
