Tip #1 (DOS session) Add /Z to the command line when starting COMMAND.COM and DOS will return the ERRORLEVEL on a separate line each time. C:\WINDOWS>xcopy a:\*.* c:\ Invalid path - a:\ The device is not ready. 0 File(s) copied Return code (ERRORLEVEL): 4 <-------------- this line is returned Tip #2 (Windoze) If you use MS Internet Mail, you can free some disk space. Go to FILE, FOLDERS, COMPACT, and then ALL FOLDERS. Tip #3 (Windoze) To turn off modem speaker, entry atm0 in the advanced properties of connections (That is zero, not an O). Tip #4 (DOS session) To delete all files with out DOS asking yes or no, use: DEL *.*? Tip #5 (DOS session) (This was sent to me. I have not checked it. It looks more like a Unix based trick) To make command line longer than 128 bytes (config.sys) SHELL=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM /P /U:255 (doskey) Doskey /line:256 ¥ |
