Getting to know the command line usually opens up quite a bit of understanding of an OS on other platforms, but since NT Windows doesn't want anything to do with the command prompt, it's not central knowledge. Honestly, the only thing useful there is ipconfig and ping.(06-02-2016, 03:34 AM)SilverOtter Wrote: You know, this is exactly why so many people are purposefully tech illiterate.
I just try to avoid messing with the command prompt because I don't quite understand the workings of it. I don't actually think it's that easy to break everything in the CP. If anything, it'd just spit out error messages since I don't know how its syntax works in the first place.
So the problem here is that you don't want stuff to break, because you don't have enough knowledge about the computer. Unfortunately, you don't learn how computers work without messing around with them and learning from failures. I had to learn to double-check dangerous commands once, and never needed another lesson.

I can't recall the last time something went seriously wrong with my computer or any computer I was using that made an ounce of sense in symptom, cause, or solution.Hey, it used to be worse. Back in the old days, if you were missing even a sliver of understanding of the computer, you'd brick $5000 worth of electronics that belonged to a company.
