Free Computer Help By Mitz

Sometimes when you put a command into the run window the Windows cmd window flashes and closes before you can see it. How to bring up the Windows run box?

Try typing cmd /k before the command and the window will stay there.

Here are some examples to try:

• Try typing net use and it doesn't work. Then type cmd /k net use

• cmd /k bootcfg Shows you which partition Windows is installed on.

• cmd /k defrag c: Defrags C: drive

• cmd /k ipconfig /all Shows the Ip numbers for computers on your network.

Notes:

• To renew a DHCP-assigned IP address configuration for only the Local Area Connection adapter, type: ipconfig /renew "Local Area Connection" This should be typed from the command window, or in the run box if you put cmd /k infront of it.
