XP NT Command help file

Posted on October 6, 2009October 6, 2009 by Alan

I have a little batch file which directly launches the XP help file for NT commands:

@echo off
start hh.exe ms-its:%WINDIR%\Help\windows.chm::/ntcmds.htm
exit

Even if you have been using XP for a long time, it is always informative to look a the topic new “command-line tools”. There are some useful tools which I never seem to remember, such as eventquery and driverquery.
