What are command prompt internal commands?


The Windows CMD has internal commands that are in the command prompt itself, this does not start another exe that is started separately!



The external commands are usually stored in the C:\WINDOWS\System32 folder, since this folder is part of the system path on all MS Windows desktop and server operating systems.

Contents:

1.) ... Here are some of the internal commands!
2.) ... passing arguments!
3.) ... What should you watch out for with internal and external commands?




1.) Here are some of the internal commands!


ASSOC, BREAK, CALL , CD = CHDIR, CLS, COLOR, COPY, DATE, DEL, DIR,  DPATH , ECHO, ENDLOCAL, ERASE, EXIT, FOR, FTYPE, GOTO, IF,  KEYS , MD, MKDIR, MKLINK, MOVE, PATH, PAUSE, POPD, PROMPT, PUSHD, REM, REN = RENAME, RD = RMDIR, SET, SETLOCAL, SHIFT, START, TIME, TITLE, TYPE, VER, VERIFY, VOL


2.) Passing arguments!

The arguments can of course also be passed to an internal command, just like an external command!

For example:

dir /w


Internal commands are used in this example:
►  Delete file or folder via command prompt




3.) What should be considered with the internal and external commands?

In the case of overlaps on the system that has an internal command and an external command with the same name, you must specify the full path to the exe. 

For example, if you have a command that happens to be dir.exe and you want to run it, use the full path D:\tools\dir.exe!
