Is there going to be a test later? I will bookmark it however. I am getting so as sometimes I cannot remember a password from a day ago.

I like it that he is coy about the identity of the legacy operating system that uses drive letters in organizing the filesystem.

"Legacy operating system:" code for Windows, vs Linux, all 630 flavors (impressive graphic, whether you like or dislike Linux)!

Oh, and if command line weren't important, M$ wouldn't have taken the time (and spent the money) to include first a command line interpreter (AKA "Command Line"), then a command-line shell (AKA "PowerShell"),

I save a few Power Shell scripts, liker like powercfg -devicequery wake_armed Then I have Device manager hot keyed to turn off "Allow..wake".

And the Run command can be useful for quickly getting to buried folders like %UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch (I copy and paste much due to stiff arthritic fingers) or just web addresses to launching via canonical names as control.exe /name Microsoft.DevicesAndPrinters, though I usually hot key many things using AutoHotKey (if I can only remember...)

Thank God for such tools to better serve Him.
