Welcome to netsh on Windows Vista/XP @ EVOKNOW.COM
Salvare le impostazioni internet da riga di comando su Windows.
There are zillion options that you can try. One of the coolest thing you can do is dump all your computer’s network configuration in a single file using the following command:
c:> netsh dump > net.config.txt
This is a great way to keep a copy in case you plan to mess with network and not get messed up. To run the script back, you can run:
c:> netsh exec net.config.txt
-
c:> netsh dump > net.config.txt
-
c:> netsh exec net.config.txt

Entropy Overload: Life with Cygwin: Paths, Notepad and Clipboard
While the defaults for a new Cygwin install today are better than they have ever been, there are still a lot of things to be desired. Using, as I do, a bash shell as my main command line, yet still being a Windows programmer running on Windows, means that I need to integrate with Windows command-line programs. Herein lies a problem: Cygwin uses Unix-like paths with '/' and no drive letter or colon (which is a path separator on Unix systems), while Windows inherits the usual CP/M/DOS traditions. Incidentally, I mount those drives to root letters to make converting between Windows and Cygwin paths easy:

How To: Show Hidden Files with a Keyboard Shortcut
Drawing inspiration from our own commenter turnersd, the How-To Geek offers up a AutoHotKey-based application that turns hidden file showing on and off in any version of Windows. The small application runs in the background from startup, and can be set to activate with any key (Win+H being the default). For those who do a good deal of file copying and system wrangling, it's a serious time saver that's probably worth the less than 2MB memory taken up by the utility. For a Visual Basic-based solution of similar convenience, try CyberNet's own utility as well.

More built-in Windows commands for system analysis
This command tells tasklist to show which services are running inside of each process. Many Windows users don't understand the relationship between services and processes, having at best a murky idea that they are different but related entities. In reality, each service on a Windows box must run inside of a process, and some processes have multiple services living inside of them. Thus, there is a one-to-many relationship between processes and services, which the tasklist command can reveal.
