Command Prompt for Windows?

[mikeshn]

I use CMD (Command Prompt) but the interface is not very nice. Does someone use another program similar to Command Prompt for Windows? Maybe similar to Bash or something like that.


Thanks

grab cygwin, then you can use bash/tcsh/any other *nix shell

Just a suggestion for CMD.EXE users...

You can enhance cmd.exe to allow Tab Completions for directories and filenames (like the feature available in UNIX/LINUX shells).

Close any open CMD.EXE consoles.
Open the Registry, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\COMMAND PROCESSOR
Change the Value of the CompletionChar value to from 40 to 9

Open cmd.exe back up and hit the Tab key to test it out.

I believe Microsoft enabled this by default in Windows XP, but it also works in NT and 2000.

you can also change the interface so it's "prettier", you could change the colors and fonts if you so desire...
