Windows 98 hidden commands
Windows has a lot of commands that are not exactly hidden, but waiting to be
found. Most of them are in directory \windows\system, whis is not part of the
path. So you can not call them by simply calling out their name. You got to use
the entire path.
Most of the commands are not documented at all. The 'Help' command doesn't give anything as doesn't 'XXXX /?'. I try to collect here some explanations and you can help me sending email to PTMUSTA at UTU.FI
