Hey Guys this is $K Again :]

Well i know some may be thinking that this new admin has gone mad
And writing tutorials on CMD??
Isn't it...?
For the people thinking like this..
I have a surprise pack in this post :)
And I am very serious about that :)

For any hacker,programmer or any windows user thinking about going to use Linux..
knowing this command line interface is very important
ACCORDING TO WIKIPEDIA:-
Command Prompt (executable name cmd.exe) is the Microsoft-supplied command-line interpreter on OS/2, Windows CE and on Windows NT-based operating systems (including Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, Server 2003, Server 2008, Server 2008 R2 and Server 2012). It is the analog of COMMAND.COM in MS-DOS and Windows 9x systems (where it is called "MS-DOS Prompt"), or of the Unix shells used on Unix-like systems.
When anyone thinks about the command line a image comes to his/her mind which is like :-
