How to Find the Command Prompt

You have to know how to find the command prompt before you can use it correct? I was clicking on the windows key, clicking on the "r" key and the run prompt would come up. Cool I got this. So I type in "ipconfig/flushdns" like everyone was telling me to do and this is what I get:


Oh for pete's sake, why can't anything be easy!


Using Cortana for Help


I click on the Cortana button and type in "cmd" where it says "ask me anything". Woo Hoo! I get a pop up box that says Best Match. Under that, I see Command Prompt. I know I am on to something good now!

Command Prompt is Already There!

Yes, you are correct. All you have to do is click on command prompt and you can use the feature there BUT I want it be somewhere more handy. I like to make things as easy and efficient as possible don't you?

So in the next lesson, I will show you where I like to access this feature (there is a hint in the image) and how to get it there. It's really quite simple actually.

If you press ctrl+shift+del it will take you to clear cache and history, is that what you wanted to do ?

I swear Loes, I am a master at making things difficult for myself! I make this above statement often. Spend hours or days trying to figure it out. Then I want to slap myself and say " for pete's sake, Suzette, that was easy!" LOL.
