DOS+Display+Command+History

DOS Display Command History

If you are in the DOS mode ( Arrived at by typing without the quotes “ CMD “in the run box )

You may wish to display all the other DOS commands that have been run during the current session ( Since you booted up )

To display a list of commands entered in a current DOS prompt session under Windows XP, just enter in the following command at the DOS prompt:

The DOS prompt is the Chevron > after C:\

To get there type CD\ after :‐

C:\ Documents and Settings\ Your Name > DOSKEY /history When typed press Enter

As you will note from the graphic the only one run of mine was :‐ Doskey /history itself.

If this doesnʹt work, try reinstalling a new version of DOSKEY by entering the following command at the DOS prompt: DOSKEY /reinstall

It can sometimes be a very interesting exercise
