| Feb 11, 2013 at 17:04 | comment | added | barlop | I learnt DOS Trying all the commands vfrazee.com/ms-dos/6.22/help there is a microsoft book on windows commands and a website listing them all. Any techie knows of netsh, including you @user22105 apparently, simply because there are a few problems that are solved by it that one has run into. Though it's a powerful command that few know how to use fully but techies can look up a specific thing if need be. netsh winsock reset was a classic and I posted about it superuser.com/questions/163150/… | |

@user22105 You do know that a valid command is usually just a program file located somewhere in C:\Windows? I have discovered some commands by browsing C:\Windows and C:\Windows\System32 and trying some of those programs with the /? flag to find out what they do.

| Feb 3, 2013 at 6:26 | comment | added | Louis Waweru | @user22105 Like cpast said, there are a million ways to have come across netsh (which has been part of Windows for the last five versions). I'm sure if you worked your way through a book about configuring Windows, it'd be something you used a few times too. | |

@user22105: Books, Internet, etc. He may have learned it in a class. He might have googled something in the past and seen netsh. There are many ways to learn this stuff.

I was actually about to say this in a comment, but it really does belong as an answer. Also, note: Much of this is applying things you know in new ways. For example, you'd think something like "I know netsh wlan does wireless networking stuff, maybe that's related".
