GET THE COMMANDS THAT WINDOWS FORGOT.
The following command lists all duplicate files on your C drive.
DIR /B /S /L C:\*.* | FILE_NAME | SORT | DUP
The filters used in the above command line are the main focus of this Toolkit.The original version of Windows contained only three filters - FIND, SORT and MORE. Despite all the improvements made in the past twenty years, Windows has not added any more. That's a shame because when it comes to doing serious work, working in a CMD window is the best way I know to access the full power of the Windows operating system. This toolkit contains almost 100 extra XP commands and filters.
One nice bonus of these commands is that they enable you to lighten your load by automating all or part of the tasks you perform. Do you ever find yourself getting annoyed that you seem to be repeating the same set of manual operations over and over? There are many people (like web site and software developers) who must work with large numbers of files and often need to perform several manipulations on these files at the same time. For example, I often see people complaining in help forums that they have a few hundred files they need to rename but none of the existing file renaming applications will do what they need. One of the nice things about this toolkit is that it gives you an alternative. With plenty of tools at your disposal, you can create a batch file or script to perform the changes you need and then use that file to perform the changes.
Over the years, I have built up a collection of tools which I use when working with Windows. They include some useful commands and filters like FIND, SORT and MORE that are used in a CMD window. I use them to perform file manipulations quickly and easily. They perform the kinds of file manipulations that usually require either writing a program from scratch or finding one already written by someone else. JDN XP Toolkit contains almost 100 new commands and filters.
Filters are a special kind of Windows command. They are special because unlike ordinary commands, they can be combined with other commands and filters. This makes them the most convenient and most versatile of all the Windows commands. This XP Toolkit contains almost 100 new commands, almost all of which are filters and all of which are open source freeware.
