Tips

• Pressing the up and down arrow keys on your keyboard allow you to flip through commands you've previously typed.
• You can drag and drop a folder or file from Explorer to the Command Prompt to insert its path.
• You can stop a currently running command with CTRL+C (forcing it to exit).
• cls Clears the contents of the window
• Holding SHIFT while right-clicking a folder in Explorer will give you the option to open a command prompt at that location

If you find yourself working in shell a lot, consider using PowerShell (built-in to Windows) or cmdr for a more powerful experience.
