<description><![CDATA[1) When I tried to install this, PestPatrol identified it as a keylogger!

2) I installed it anyway and found that there are Unix-like commands that it will not execute, and it hangs on vom.exe

3) And then my Quick Launch icons disappeared!! 

4) I restored my system to before PowerCmd and everything seems OK again.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[re: #63 dk_stoneman - "My main gripe with the CMD is it won’t let you paste"

cmd.exe will let you paste. Click on the system icon in the title bar (the left one, the little black C:\ icon), a system menu appears and in it is "Edit".  Click that, a submenu appears with Paste.  Clicking Mark lets you drag the mouse to enclose a rectangular area then hit enter to copy to the clipboard.  (Sorry if you already know all that.)

Is it easy? Not really.  Is it consistent with Windows standard ^C ^V? No.  But at least it can be done.  Thought you might want to know that.

Then again there's the QuickEdit option - it allows you to use the mouse to click/drag to select an area, hit enter to copy, and the right-click to paste.  (Pretty much like PuTTY, for whoever mentioned that.)  (I typically don't use it a mistaken right-click can paste a bunch of commands with embedded carriage returns/enters that cause cmd.exe to execute them.)  QuickEdit is found in the Properties menu from the system menu.

Though for those tired of white on black console windows, you can (and I do) change the default colors.  I use black text on gray window for an easier-on-the-eyes view.  

And you can make it bigger than the default 25x80 - I use 132x50 to see more of what I'm working on.  

The font can be changed to something readable - Lucida Console is nice for me.

All these can be reached by accessing the Properties menu item from the system menu (that left title bar icon again).

(Then again, there's the Eshell package in Emacs that's very cool, if you use the Windows version GNU Emacs.)

As for this program, I'm kicking myself - I made a reminder to get it at home and didn't check my reminders last night.  I use the command prompt all the time as a software developer, and use Marko B's "Console" for a prettier interface.  

Maybe someone will find this information useful and not dismiss the console window as unusable.  It isn't perfect, or *nix-like, but it's usable and a lot better than it was in the early days.  Some of the FOR command options that came with 2000 or XP are interesting.  And it has command- and directory- completion! (Just set it in the registry to be the TAB key and it's a lot more *nix-like).

Reading some of the Help is also enlightening - Start-&gt;Help, search for CMD, look at the related topics link at the bottom.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[#12 Mike I couldn't agree more! Alowing people to just give a thumbs up or down without explaining there vote is very missleading to seriously interested people like myself.At least when some one leaves a comment with there rating I can judge if they are knowledgeable about the software &amp; its objective, or if they are just uneducated. Please if you want to rate the software atleast have the resolution to write you reasoning behind it.Maby in the future you can change the voting process so that in order to vote you have to leave a comment first. Thanks GOTD]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Sometimes useful when you have problems you can check several things in one window. So not for everyone, but why complaining?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[#12

I live in the command line, as I am a "builder", those that need to know what I do, will understand. :)

As for the comparison to Console, I tried a beta version 2 that always crashed under Vista, so I had to scrap it, and well, version 1 didn't allow tabs, that I was able to see.

This giveaway, seems awesome so far, and it even runs PowerShell just fine as a tab.
I just love the comments from those that download stuff they don't understand. Those are the ones driving the thumb ratings down.

Anyways, great software GAOTD!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The autocomplete is annoying and useful at the same time. Annoying that it does not work the way with every other autocomplete feature does. Hitting the TAB button is kinda odd to use when the Enter key is more intuitive.

When you do remember to use the TAB key, it makes changing through directories much easier.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Yea, most people probably have no idea what you do with a command prompt these days.  Windows has ensured that it's not really necessary.  But I've been using computers since 1986 and I still like to do things the old fashioned way.  Whereas most people are way more familiar with the explorer window than with the command prompt, it's the other way around for me.  I prefer the command prompt and use it quite frequently.  It's one of the buttons on my quicklaunch bar.  Now, PowerCmd is also one of my buttons.  It's a great little program that allows you to run multiple command prompts without having multiple windows open.  Kind of a new twist on an old favorite.  I only wish I could install it at work as well.

I've been a visitor on this site since it started.  I've downloaded a few programs, some good, some bad.  Up until tonight, I've given out one thumbs up and one thumbs down.  Now it's two thumbs up!

For those of you out there who still use the command prompt, give this program a try.  It's nice.]]></description>
