POWERCMD: Alternative to Command Prompt..

Every body is aware of Command Prompt Box (CMD) in windows. People need to use it frequently for various purposes like executing a program with root excess, to start or stop various functions on their devce and many more..

After so many upgrades of OS, still the default command prompt utility is not much improved but having very basic features. There is no Option of copy/paste in Default Command Prompt. The other main Flaw in the Default Command Prompt is that if you mistakenly close the CMD, all your data is lost and now you have no data of what you typed..!!

You can download it from here.

PowerCMD is a featured rich command prompt alternative for Windows operating system which is available for free. It will change the way you look at the command prompt feature or utility in Windows.

• While moving between the directories, entering the first word only shows all the folder in that folder and can be reached to destination folder very easily
  
• You can copy/paste option (which i think is must required)
  
• No loss of work as have auto save logs to save the history in log, so if you accidentaly closed the prompt then too just open the logs and you can view all the commands that you entered previously

• Now right click the taskbar and select properties . 
• Check auto hide the taskbar. Click OK.

Now change your wallpaper and keep the Screen Shot that you saved earlier.

• Else go to the location where you saved the screenshot ------> Right Click on it and select "Set as Desktop Background" 

Now on the desktop even if you click any icon nothing will happen !!!
