But here is a list of commands which you can use as shortcuts to use from Xp command line. I just found it somewhere and all credit goes to the original list creator.

Btw, to use them, you dont have to goto MS DOS prompt in Xp. Just goto Start and select Run, In the Run text box, type your command and click OK to run it.
