Windows

I needed to recreate my doskeys.macro file on a new computer. The following commands show how to setup permanent doskey commands. Open Regedit. Go to the following regedit directory. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor Create a new key named Autorun. REG_SZ Value doskey /macrofile="d:\util\macros.doskey" My macros.doskey These are short key commands that I use every day. cr=createcmd cu=cleanup dl=dlist no="C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe" $1 mp=D:\Util\BuildMp3Tag.exe Added note I have found a better way to install this registry setting.

In one of the Windows 10 feature upgrades Microsoft decided to make Powershell the default command shell on the Windows start menu (Win-X keys). I use Powershell occasionally and wanted the option to use the Command prompt instead. To do this go to: Settings > Personalization > Taskbar There is an option to replace Windows Powershell with the command prompt.
