Many people think that DOS is outdated, but I don't think so. You can do many things with DOS,and even Eric Wilhelm uses it! (See here) Some of the things you can do with DOS include giving yourself access to important files (good for hacking), deleting things, backing up things, showing all the files and folders in a folder, making simple but harmful viruses, and reformatting hard drives (!!). Unfortunately, when you want to run a program you made, you must type in the location if you want other information to be passed on to it. This instructable will teach you how to essentially make a command so you don't have to do this.

Signing UpStep 1: Making the Program
Start by making a DOS executable. A DOS executable is a program that is run through CMD. These files can have six extensions: .exe, .com, .bat or .cmd .vbs or .vbe. Note that that you can use things passed into the program with %1, %2, %3 and so on.
When you have the program ready, rename it to the command you want, followed by its extension. Note that the command cannot contain spaces.
When ready, continue to step two.

Linux is an interesting OS. When you're using it on a harddrive also containing Windows, it says, "You know what? Go ahead and f*** this OS up; it's not me, so I don't care."
When you try to access files in a Linux partition from a Windows partition or a different Linux partition, the one which you're trying to access says, "What do you think you're doing? These are mine, and I won't let you see them, a$$h***!"
When you try to access the system files in a Linux OS which you own, it says, "Ummm...You need Root-Access to view these. Wait, what do you say? You have Root-Access? Well, I don't give a d***. If you want me dead, you'll have to do it my way."
Doing anything to or from Windows OS', Windows says, "Can I help you with this? Perhaps I can bend over a little further."
/me is visualizing the paperclip in Microsoft Office bending over past its elastic limit.
Was that meant to be funny? If it was, it's just because I have a very bad sense of humor.
