cmd.exe is a 32 bit command prompt that supports long filenames natively =
along with a host of other tricks (try typing a partial filename in XP =
and hitting the TAB button to autocomplete). Command.com is a 16 bit =
shell that was the basis for running Windows 9x/ME.

Subject: [windows2000] Difference between cmd and command?
I'd always assumed "cmd" was the same as "command", but easier to type.
However, I've just noticed that typing cmd gives a command prompt title
banner of=20
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
while typing command gives
Microsoft(R) Windows DOS
(C)Copyright Microsoft Corp 1990-2001.
They both seem to work the same but does anyone know if there are any
particular differences between them? I'm using XP Pro (obviously) but =
NT4
and W2K do the same thing.
Sorry if this is obvious to everyone except me.
