1. Clear screen in windows cmd

> cls

• Similar to clear in unix

2. Modifying console colors

• Syntax: color (background-color)(foreground-color)
• Example:

> color 08

# Sets background to black and foreground(text color) to green

• More color codes
  • Black = 0
  • White = 7
  • Green = 8 etc.

3. Creating aliases in windows cmd

• Example:

 > doskey ls = dir

• Now running ls in your cmd shell will list the files and directories inside the current folder.
• Note: This alias will be 'lost' when you close the current shell
