I’ve modified my prompts, both in CMD and PowerShell so that they always display the current time and date. The time and date display isn’t a clock, per se. The time is updated every time I press Enter.
\nIt looks like this:<\/p>\n
[Wed 01\/17\/2007 21:11:02.12] C:\\><\/p>\n
To modify my prompt in the CMD shell, I simply use the command:<\/p>\n
set prompt=[$D $T] $P$G<\/p>\n
The $D attribute displays the date, $T the time, $P the current directory and $G the right angle bracket. I enclosed the date and time in square brackets purely for cosmetic purposes.<\/p>\n
Since I don’t want to enter this command every time I open a command shell (plus, I have some shell customizations such as my DOSKEY macros), I’ve created a batch file that includes the prompt command.
\nI then entered the path to the batch file in the AutoRun key under:<\/p>\n
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Command Processor<\/p>\n
If you don’t have the key, you can create it. It is type REG_SZ.<\/p>\n
Now, all my CMD shells show me the current date and time and all I have to do is look straight ahead and keep working.<\/p>\n
Next week, I’ll show you how to handle this with PowerShell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
