Why do we use the CMD.exe ? That's simliar or it IS Dos, no? Dangit I read nowhere on those tutorials that says to open this specific line.

CMD is a command interpreter that issues with NT and up(NT, 2000, XP, Srv03). You could have just as easily used command.com which is the legacy aged MS-DOS derived command interpreter that uses external programs as shell commands. CMD has the comodity of having everything integrated and nicely packaged into the executable, and uses very little external programs for command execution. Hit F1 and find the DOS command reference for more information. Just a final note: command emulators on NT systems are NOT in any way DOS, since in that, you're calling them Disk Operating Systems. I can't say the same for 9x/Me
. Hope that helped. Legacy got the rest of it just right.
