Remarks

To use multiple commands for , separate them by the command separator && and enclose them in quotation marks. For example:

If you specify /c or /k, cmd processes, the remainder of string, and the quotation marks are preserved only if all of the following conditions are met:

You don’t also use /s.

You use exactly one set of quotation marks.

You don’t use any special characters within the quotation marks (for example: & ( ) @ ^ | ).

You use one or more white-space characters within the quotation marks.

The string within quotation marks is the name of an executable file.

If the previous conditions aren’t met, string is processed by examining the first character to verify whether it is an opening quotation mark. If the first character is an opening quotation mark, it is stripped along with the closing quotation mark. Any text following the closing quotation marks is preserved.

If you don’t specify /d in string, Cmd.exe looks for the following registry subkeys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\AutoRun\REG_SZ

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\AutoRun\REG_EXPAND_SZ

If one or both registry subkeys are present, they’re executed before all other variables.

Incorrectly editing the registry may severely damage your system. Before making changes to the registry, you should back up any valued data on the computer.

You can disable command extensions for a particular process by using /e:off. You can enable or disable extensions for all cmd command-line options on a computer or user session by setting the following REG_DWORD values:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\EnableExtensions\REG_DWORD

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\EnableExtensions\REG_DWORD

Set the REG_DWORD value to either 0Г—1 (enabled) or 0Г—0 (disabled) in the registry by using Regedit.exe. User-specified settings take precedence over computer settings, and command-line options take precedence over registry settings.

Incorrectly editing the registry may severely damage your system. Before making changes to the registry, you should back up any valued data on the computer.

When you enable command extensions, the following commands are affected:

assoc

call

chdir (cd)

color

del (erase)

endlocal

for

ftype

goto

if

mkdir (md)

popd

prompt

pushd

set

setlocal

shift

start (also includes changes to external command processes)

If you enable delayed environment variable expansion, you can use the exclamation point character to substitute the value of an environment variable at run time.

File and directory name completion is not enabled by default. You can enable or disable file name completion for a particular process of the cmd command with /f:<on | off>. You can enable or disable file and directory name completion for all processes of the cmd command on a computer or for a user logon session by setting the following REG_DWORD values:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\CompletionChar\REG_DWORD

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\PathCompletionChar\REG_DWORD

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\CompletionChar\REG_DWORD

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\PathCompletionChar\REG_DWORD

To set the REG_DWORD value, run Regedit.exe and use the hexadecimal value of a control character for a particular function (for example, 0Г—9 is TAB and 0Г—08 is BACKSPACE). User-specified settings take precedence over computer settings, and command-line options take precedence over registry settings.

Incorrectly editing the registry may severely damage your system. Before making changes to the registry, you should back up any valued data on the computer.

If you enable file and directory name completion by using /f:on, use CTRL+D for directory name completion and CTRL+F for file name completion. To disable a particular completion character in the registry, use the value for white space [0Г—20] because it is not a valid control character.

Pressing CTRL+D or CTRL+F, processes the file and directory name completion. These key combination functions append a wildcard character to string (if one is not present), builds a list of paths that match, and then displays the first matching path.

If none of the paths match, the file and directory name completion function beeps and does not change the display. To move through the list of matching paths, press CTRL+D or CTRL+F repeatedly. To move through the list backwards, press the SHIFT key and CTRL+D or CTRL+F simultaneously. To discard the saved list of matching paths and generate a new list, edit string and press CTRL+D or CTRL+F. If you switch between CTRL+D and CTRL+F, the saved list of matching paths is discarded and a new list is generated. The only difference between the key combinations CTRL+D and CTRL+F is that CTRL+D only matches directory names and CTRL+F matches both file and directory names. If you use file and directory name completion on any of the built-in directory commands (that is, CD, MD, or RD), directory completion is assumed.

File and directory name completion correctly processes file names that contain white space or special characters if you place quotation marks around the matching path.

You must use quotation marks around the following special characters: & [ ] | < >^ = ; ! ‘ + , `

If the information that you supply contains spaces, you must use quotation marks around the text (for example, «Computer Name»).

If you process file and directory name completion from within string, any part of the path to the right of the cursor is discarded (at the point in string where the completion was processed).

Windows commands

All supported versions of Windows (server and client) have a set of Win32 console commands built in.

This set of documentation describes the Windows Commands you can use to automate tasks by using scripts or scripting tools.

Prerequisites

The information that is contained in this topic applies to:

  • Windows Server 2019
  • Windows Server (Semi-Annual Channel)
  • Windows Server 2016
  • Windows Server 2012 R2
  • Windows Server 2012
  • Windows Server 2008 R2
  • Windows Server 2008
  • Windows 10
  • Windows 8.1

Command shell overview

The Command shell was the first shell built into Windows to automate routine tasks, like user account management or nightly backups, with batch (.bat) files. With Windows Script Host you could run more sophisticated scripts in the Command shell. For more information, see cscript or wscript. You can perform operations more efficiently by using scripts than you can by using the user interface. Scripts accept all Commands that are available at the command line.

Windows has two command shells: The Command shell and PowerShell. Each shell is a software program that provides direct communication between you and the operating system or application, providing an environment to automate IT operations.

PowerShell was designed to extend the capabilities of the Command shell to run PowerShell commands called cmdlets. Cmdlets are similar to Windows Commands but provide a more extensible scripting language. You can run Windows Commands and PowerShell cmdlets in Powershell, but the Command shell can only run Windows Commands and not PowerShell cmdlets.

For the most robust, up-to-date Windows automation, we recommend using PowerShell instead of Windows Commands or Windows Script Host for Windows automation.

You can also download and install PowerShell Core, the open source version of PowerShell.

Incorrectly editing the registry may severely damage your system. Before making the following changes to the registry, you should back up any valued data on the computer.

To enable or disable file and directory name completion in the Command shell on a computer or user logon session, run regedit.exe and set the following reg_DWOrd value:

To set the reg_DWOrd value, use the hexadecimal value of a control character for a particular function (for example, 0 9 is Tab and 0 08 is Backspace). User-specified settings take precedence over computer settings, and command-line options take precedence over registry settings.

Общие сведения о командной оболочке Command shell overview

Командная оболочка была первой оболочкой, встроенной в Windows, для автоматизации стандартных задач, таких как управление учетными записями пользователей или ночное резервное копирование с пакетными файлами (bat). The Command shell was the first shell built into Windows to automate routine tasks, like user account management or nightly backups, with batch (.bat) files. С помощью сервера сценариев Windows можно выполнять более сложные сценарии в командной оболочке. With Windows Script Host you could run more sophisticated scripts in the Command shell. Дополнительные сведения см. в разделе cscript или Wscript. For more information, see cscript or wscript. С помощью скриптов можно более эффективно выполнять операции, чем с помощью пользовательского интерфейса. You can perform operations more efficiently by using scripts than you can by using the user interface. Скрипты принимают все команды, доступные в командной строке. Scripts accept all Commands that are available at the command line.

Windows имеет две командные оболочки: Командная оболочка и PowerShell. Windows has two command shells: The Command shell and PowerShell. Каждая оболочка представляет собой программную программу, обеспечивающую прямой обмен данными между вами и операционной системой или приложением, предоставляя среду для автоматизации ИТ-операций. Each shell is a software program that provides direct communication between you and the operating system or application, providing an environment to automate IT operations.

PowerShell был разработан для расширения возможностей командной оболочки для выполнения команд PowerShell, называемых командлетами. PowerShell was designed to extend the capabilities of the Command shell to run PowerShell commands called cmdlets. Командлеты похожи на команды Windows, но предоставляют более расширяемый язык сценариев. Cmdlets are similar to Windows Commands but provide a more extensible scripting language. Вы можете выполнять команды Windows и командлеты PowerShell в PowerShell, но Командная оболочка может выполнять только команды Windows, а не командлеты PowerShell. You can run Windows Commands and PowerShell cmdlets in Powershell, but the Command shell can only run Windows Commands and not PowerShell cmdlets.

Для наиболее надежной и последней версии службы автоматизации Windows рекомендуется использовать PowerShell вместо команд Windows или сервера сценариев Windows для службы автоматизации Windows. For the most robust, up-to-date Windows automation, we recommend using PowerShell instead of Windows Commands or Windows Script Host for Windows automation.

Вы также можете скачать и установить PowerShell Core, версию PowerShell с открытым исходным кодом. You can also download and install PowerShell Core, the open source version of PowerShell.

Неправильное изменение реестра может серьезно повредить систему. Incorrectly editing the registry may severely damage your system. Перед внесением следующих изменений в реестр следует создать резервную копию всех ценных данных на компьютере. Before making the following changes to the registry, you should back up any valued data on the computer.

Чтобы включить или отключить завершение имен файлов и каталогов в командной оболочке на компьютере или в сеансе входа пользователя, запустите regedit.exe и задайте следующее значение reg_DWOrd: To enable or disable file and directory name completion in the Command shell on a computer or user logon session, run regedit.exe and set the following reg_DWOrd value:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\completionChar\reg_DWOrd HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\completionChar\reg_DWOrd

Чтобы задать значение reg_DWOrd , используйте шестнадцатеричное значение управляющего символа для конкретной функции (например, 0 9 — TAB, а 0 08 — Backspace). To set the reg_DWOrd value, use the hexadecimal value of a control character for a particular function (for example, 0 9 is Tab and 0 08 is Backspace). Заданные пользователем параметры имеют приоритет над параметрами компьютера, а параметры командной строки имеют приоритет над параметрами реестра. User-specified settings take precedence over computer settings, and command-line options take precedence over registry settings.
