Today we\u2019re showing you all of the different ways to open the Command Prompt. We\u2019re betting you don\u2019t know all of them.<\/p>\n<p>The Command Prompt is a pretty useful tool. It allows you to do some things quicker than you can do them in the graphic interface and offers some tools that you just can\u2019t find in the graphic interface at all. And in true keyboard-ninja spirit, the Command Prompt also supports all kinds of clever keyboard shortcuts that make it even more powerful. While it\u2019s easy to just open the Command Prompt from the Start menu, that\u2019s not the only way to do it.
