Throughout my journey as a Tech-Enthusiast, it has been a thing to know and work on the cmd shell on my windows device. Here I'm going to share some crazy, simple, and useful commands which you must know as a Techie and here we go...

Know your saved Wi-Fi password using Netsh

If you have ever found stuck in a situation where you are unable to extract a password already saved on your device? Well here is your savior the netsh command, here is how can you use it:

Start your command prompt by typing cmd in the search.
Type "netsh wlan show profile" (This command will give you the list of all the profiles associated).
Now you need to type "netsh wlan show profile "profile_name" key =clear ".
And now the key content displays the password of your selected wlan profile.
Run this command on your friends' devices and let them look at you with that awestruck gaze!

Change color of your command prompt

If you have watched one of those movies where a hacker does some smooth green colored coding and yoo-hoo the system is hacked and have some obsession with colors, you can change the color of your command prompt by simply typing:

"color help" (Ths shows you the codes of the available colors).
Once you have decided what color to go with just type "color colorcode"

And here we go!

The "prompt" command helps you set a cool username for your prompt. Just try it out by simply typing:

"help prompt": this command gives you access to all the special characters codes

and then type "prompt TheNameYouWant$G" and you get :

Hide your folders using "attrib"

If you want to hide a super important folder from your computer so that no one could find them, this one is definitely for you :

Open your terminal, and enter the directory where the folder is located.
" attrib +h +s +r folder_name" and yeah it is that simple, refresh, and it's gone!
For accessing your hidden folder run the command "attrib -h -s -r folder_name", you will find it right there!

Know your Network with "ipconfig"

This command lets you know all your system's network configurations in one go :

Open your terminal and type "ipconfig /all". That's it!
