hh ntcmds.chm

So we have a new hire, just graduated from grad school. Since he only uses *nix in school. He is kind of lost in windows's command prompt. What exactly can I do in windows command prompt?

WindowsXP/Windows Server 2003 ships many many command line tools. There is a help file called ntcmds.chm, which lists all the available command line tools, and detailed help for each tool. Type “hh ntcmds.chm” in your command prompt to see it.

To my surprise, not many people knows about this file.

  Just tried this command and it's cool. However when you load the help file there is a missing image on the first page. Doh.
  
  Indy please stop trolling, it doesn't help our cause in the slightest.

  You could also try cygwin which has many of the *nix tools (inc gcc). http://www.cygwin.com/

  Actually I have Cygwin installed on my home machine. But believe it or not, I am more productive in command prompt than in Cygwin. The case sentivity alone annoys me enough.
