SUMMARY

Doskey is a command-line utility for recalling MS-DOS commands, editing command lines, and creating macros. In Windows Millennium Edition (Me), Doskey is loaded by default when you start a command session (or window). Windows Me loads Doskey with the /insert option enabled.

MORE INFORMATION

In earlier versions of Windows, Doskey is not loaded by default when you start a command session. You can start Doskey manually in a command session if you want. When you start Doskey in an earlier version of Windows, the /insert option is not enabled by default.

The default Doskey behavior in Windows Me is specified in the Windows\Command\Cmdinit.bat file. If you do not want the /insert option enabled by default, edit the Cmdinit.bat file and remove the "/insert" text.

Or, you can simply press INSERT on the keyboard in a command session to toggle the insert behavior for Doskey.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
