Utilising Command Prompt


You think Command Prompt as a child's toy, as it seems to have no value. What can it do, you think. After all, it is text-based. But the reality is you are underestimating the power of CMD (Command Prompt). Did you know that Command Prompt can shutdown remote computers in a LAN network.. (or any network, though it is suggested you don't try out that)

You got it right. Shutdown via CMD. Here are the steps..

(a) Open CMD. If you are on XP, Go to Start > Run >cmd.exe. If you are on 7 or Vista, go to Search box, type cmd and hit Enter.
(b) Type netstat for the entire network or netstat -n for active established protocols. 
(c) Type shutdown -i 
(d) Add the computer names and reason
(e) You're done!
