Here are some common MS-DOS commands and their uses:

Changing Directories

• cd <directory>: Changes the current directory to the specified directory. For example, cd Documents would change the current directory to the "Documents" folder.

• cd..: Moves one level up in the directory tree. For example, if you are currently in the "My Documents" folder, typing cd.. would move you to the parent folder, which is typically your user directory.

• cd\: Returns to the root directory of the current drive.

Changing Drives

• <drive>: Switches to the specified drive. For example, C: would switch to the C drive, and D: would switch to the D drive.

Clearing the Screen

• cls: Clears the contents of the Command Prompt window.

Exiting the Command Prompt
