Console Commands

ControlPad lets you run Windows console commands (e.g. dir, ipconfig).

In the command dialog start your command with cmd.exe /c followed by the command you wish to run

Example: cmd.exe /c copy C:\a.txt b.txt

To run several commands one after the other (like a batch file), separate your commands with &&

Example: cmd.exe /c ipconfig && pause

To hide the console window, start your command with @

Example: @cmd.exe /c dir /b > tmp.txt && start tmp.txt
CAUTION: Before using this hide operator, make sure your command exits properly - otherwise you will end up with a hidden window that can only be closed through the Windows task manager.
