How To Generate A List Of All Available Commands In Windows Command Prompt

The Windows command prompt has many useful commands that can do useful things.

To make a list of these commands for reference, open the command prompt (Windows key + R) and type :

[cce]

cmd

[/cce]

Once at the command prompt, simply dump the contents of the “help” command to an external text file by typing :

[cce]

help >> pathwherethefileistobekept\filename.txt

[/cce]

In this example, file named commandlist.txt will be created in E: drive, so the command will be :

[cce]

help >> e:\commandlist.txt

[/cce]

Open the newly created text file. It will have all the commands listed in alphabetical order that are available in Windows command prompt. 🙂

Enjoy.
