HERE IS A STUFF OF DOSKEY.COM Press F7 to view all the commands executed in a particular booting .Then press F9 & enter the line number of the command u want to execute.
MACROS :-
COMMAND - DOSKEY (command1)=(command2)
USE :- This command assigns commnad2 to command1
EG - doskey dir =cls This command assigns 'cls' to 'dir' . Thus if dir is executed then cls will be executed .
No. of commands can be executed using a batch file . But if no. of commands to be executed is small and those commands are not to be used regularly then 'CTRL + T' command can be used . Here is a eg. explaining the command .
COMMAND :- CD \GAMES\KAM (CTRL + T ) KAM
USE :- This command runs executable file -kam by going to directory KAM .
NOTE :-This command works only if DOSKEY.COM is installed .
TO DELETE A DIRECTORY :-
DELTREE [ DIRECTORY NAME ]:- deletes the specified directory with files within it .
Some EXE files are more than 640kb . These files give error message PROGRAM TOO BIG TO FIT IN MEMORY or some similar message , when an attempt is made to execute them . This is because of only 640kb conventional memory .
If you are using logitech mouse then there may be file
cloaking.exe which will use only 2kb of memory for mouse drivers instead of
23kb.Thus you can save 21kb memory.
Run memmaker.exe so that some of the dos programs are loaded into the upper memory block .
Memmaker will certainly free up your pc's memory.To run memmaker.exe , you need certain files which come in Memmaker Kit.Click
to download the memmaker kit.
The file named emm386.exe is loaded in config.sys giving the path . If the statement is followed by word RAM then more
memory can be made free. There are two parts in conventional memory . They are
NOEMS and RAM . If emm386 statement is followed by NOEMS then same amount of memory can be made free .
The only advantage using RAM is that some games don't work in NOEMS whereas
all programs work with RAM .
