Well, if we tell them to you, they wont be secret anymore, would they? :p

I uploaded the winxp command reference to *mihd.net/mn96d8g

Get it and read. Nothing illegal, its just the parts of windows reference...

You can find an online copy at *technet.microsoft.com/hi-in/library/bb491071(en-us).aspx

^^ and start /wait waits till the previous command is executed. Useful if you run programs after one another. I use it in a batch file to install all drivers for my pc in a single batch file.

eg:

start /wait abc.exe
start /wait pqr.exe

abc is run, and only after it exits completely, pqr is run.
