Tricks: To create shortcuts using the above GUID in Windows 7, create a new folder and rename the
folder like this: for “Control Panel: Complete list” rename a folder in Windows 7 with the following:

Environment Variables
Environment variables are strings that contain information such as drive, path, or file name.
They control the behavior of various programs. For example, the TEMP environment variable specifies
the location in which programs place temporary files. Any user can add, modify, or remove a user
environment variable. However, only an administrator can add, modify, or remove a system environment
variable.
Using System in Control Panel, you can customize the following variables:
1. User management Environment Variables for logged_on_user_name: The user environment
variables are different for each user of a particular computer. The variables include any that are set

bcdalai's Free Tech. Support Blog: [http://bcdalai.blogspot.com]

by the user, as well as any variables defined by programs, such as the path to the location of the
program files.
2. System path Environment Variables: Administrators can change or add environment variables
that apply to the system, and thus to all system users. During installation, Windows Setup
configures the default system variables, such as the path to the Windows files.
3. Discrete value Environment Variable: These are generally expanded to discrete values, such as
the current working directory, the current date, or a random number. Some of these are true
environment variable and will be expanded by all functions that handle environment variables.
These variables are not case sensitive.

3. A Windows Setup Dialog Box appears. The Windows Setup Dialog Box describes the
Recovery Console option. To confirm the installation, click Yes.
4. Restart the computer. The next time that you start your computer, “Microsoft Windows
Recovery Console” appears on the startup menu.
Note: Always use Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 CD to Install the Recovery Console and
to avoid this error:
“Setup cannot continue because the version of Windows on your computer is newer
than the version on the CD.”

Command Descriptions
[Note: See table-8 for rest of the command in the above table.]
Batch: executes commands that you specify in the text file, Inputfile. Outputfile holds the output of the
commands. If you omit the Outputfile parameter, output appears on the screen.
CD (Chdir): operates only in the system directories of the current Windows installation, removable
media, the root directory of any hard disk partition, or the local installation sources.
Chkdsk: The /p switch runs Chkdsk even if the drive is not flagged as dirty. The /r switch locates bad
sectors and recovers readable information. This switch implies /p. Chkdsk requires Autochk. Chkdsk
automatically looks for Autochk.exe in the startup folder. If Chkdsk cannot find the file in the startup
folder, it looks for the Windows Setup CD-ROM. If Chkdsk cannot find the installation CD-ROM, Chkdsk
prompts the user for the location of Autochk.exe.
Copy: copies one file to a target location. By default, the target cannot be removable media, and you
cannot use wildcard characters. Copying a compressed file from the Windows 2000 Setup CD-ROM
automatically decompresses the file.
Del (Delete): deletes one file. Operates within the system directories of the current Windows installation,
removable media, the root directory of any hard disk partition, or the local installation sources. By
default, you cannot use wildcard characters.
Dir: displays a list of all files, including hidden and system files.
Disable: disables a Windows system service or driver. The variable service_or_driver is the name of the
service or driver that you want to disable. When you use this command to disable a service, the
command displays the service‟s original startup type before it changes the type to
SERVICE_DISABLED. Note the original startup type so that you can use the enable command to
restart the service.
Enable: enables a Windows system service or driver. The variable service_or_driver is the name of the
service or driver that you want to enable, and start_type is the startup type for an enabled service. The
startup type uses one of the following formats:
SERVICE_BOOT_START
SERVICE_SYSTEM_START
SERVICE_AUTO_START
SERVICE_DEMAND_START
Exit: quits the Recovery Console, and then restarts the computer.
Expand: expands a compressed file. The variable source is the file that you want to expand. By default,
you cannot use wildcard characters. The variable destination is the directory for the new file. By default,
the destination cannot be removable media and cannot be read-only. You can use the attrib command
to remove the read-only attribute from the destination directory. The option /f:filespec is required if the
source contains more than one file. This option permits wildcard characters. The /y switch disables the
overwrite confirmation prompt.
Fixboot: writes a new startup sector on the system partition.
Fixmbr: repairs the startup partition‟s master boot code. The variable device is an optional name that
specifies the device that requires a new Master Boot Record. Omit this variable when the target is the
startup device.
Format: formats a disk. The /q switch performs a quick format. The /fs switch specifies the file system.
Help: If you do not use the command variable to specify a command, help lists all the commands that
the Recovery Console supports.
Listsvc: displays all available services and drivers on the computer.
Logon: displays detected installations of Windows and requests the local Administrator password for
those installations. Use this command to move to another installation or subdirectory.
Map: displays currently active device mappings. Include the arc option to specify the use of Advanced
RISC Computing (ARC) paths (the format for Boot.ini) instead of Windows device paths.
MD (Mkdir): operates only within the system directories of the current Windows installation, removable
media, the root directory of any hard disk partition, or the local installation sources.
More/Type: displays the specified text file on screen.
Rd (Rmdir): operates only within the system directories of the current Windows installation, removable
media, the root directory of any hard disk partition, or the local installation sources.
Ren (Rename): operates only within the system directories of the current Windows installation,
removable media, the root directory of any hard disk partition, or the local installation sources. You
cannot specify a new drive or path as the target.

through booting with a recovery disk or by a Windows DVD in recovery mode. Use the
following commands:
Restore System files and Settings: srtrui.exe
Windows Complete PC Restore: bmrui.exe
Windows DISM Capture: dwscapture.exe
8. Creating Command for Programs:
You can make your own commands too. If you want to launch a program from Run or from
command prompt. Follow these steps:
Create a shortcut for a program. Name the shortcut anything as you wish. Don‟t name
this same to windows commands, otherwise this will not work.
Copy it to the “%windows%\system32” folder. Then open Run box, type in the name
and press Enter.

9. %SystemRoot% is same as %WinDir% and can be use without confusion.


10. User State Migration Tool (USMT): This is to streamline and simplify user state migration
intended for performing large-scale automated deployments of Windows Vista and Windows 7
operating systems. USMT captures user accounts, user files, operating system settings, and
application settings, and then migrates them to a new Windows installation. The tools are as:
ScanState.exe: The ScanState tool scans the source computer, collects the files and settings,
and then creates a store. ScanState does not modify the source computer. By default, it
compresses the files and stores them as a migration store. ScanState copies files into a temporary
location and then into the migration store.
LoadState.exe: The LoadState tool migrates the files and settings, one at a time, from the
store to a temporary location on the destination computer. The files are decompressed, and
decrypted if necessary, during this process. Next, LoadState transfers the file to the correct
location, deletes the temporary copy, and begins migrating the next file.
11. For uninstalling a Service Pack:
spuninst –u

Few tools explained
Pushd- Stores the current directory for use by the POPD command and then changes to the specified
directory.
Syntax:
PUSHD [path | ..]
Parameters
path Specifies the directory to make the current directory.
Note: If Command Extensions are enabled the PUSHD command accepts network paths in addition to
the normal drive letter and path. If a network path is specified, PUSHD will create a temporary drive
letter that points to that specified network resource and then change the current drive and directory,
using the newly defined drive letter. Temporary drive letters are allocated from Z: on down, using the
first unused drive letter found.
Popd- Changes to the directory stored by the PUSHD command.
POPD
Note: If Command Extensions are enabled the POPD command will delete any temporary drive letter
created by PUSHD when you POPD that drive off the pushed directory stack.

Net- Windows Net Command.


Syntax:
NET [ACCOUNTS | COMPUTER | CONFIG | CONTINUE | FILE | GROUP | HELP | HELPMSG |
LOCALGROUP | NAME | PAUSE | PRINT | SEND | SESSION | SHARE | START | STATISTICS |
STOP | TIME | USE | USER | VIEW]
