5 Fun Commands You Can Try in CMD

1) Find Hidden Wi-Fi Passwords

Ever connected to Wi-Fi but forgot the password, or someone your brother has refused to give you the password rather than punching it into your PC themselves? You can find it with CMD!

cmdCopyEditnetsh wlan show profile name="WiFi-Name" key=clear

Replace WiFi-Name with your actual Wi-Fi name, and it will show you the saved password. (You’ll need admin access for this one.)

2) Make Your Computer Talk

Want to hear your PC talk? Copy and paste this into CMD:

cmdCopy codeecho CreateObject("SAPI.SpVoice").Speak "Hello, you are awesome!" > talk.vbs && talk.vbs

Hit Enter, and your computer will actually speak the message! You can change the text to anything you like.

3) Create a Personal Diary Inside CMD

Did you know you can turn Notepad into a time-stamped diary? Try this:

cmdCopy codenotepad mydiary.txt

Once Notepad opens, type .LOG on the first line and save the file. Every time you open it, Notepad will automatically add the date and time for your next journal entry.

4) Check If Your Internet Is Working

Ever wondered if your internet is really down or if it’s just your browser? Try this:

cmdCopy codeping google.com

It will send small data packets to Google and tell you if there’s a response. If you see replies, your internet is fine. If not, well… time to check the Wi-Fi!

5) See a Star Wars Movie Inside CMD

Hmmm, are you sure? Yes you can watch an ASCII version of Star Wars directly in CMD. Just type:

cmdCopy codetelnet towel.blinkenlights.nl

Press Enter, and watch the magic happen! (If it doesn’t work, you might need to enable Telnet in Windows.)
