What is the difference between command.com and cmd?

Ang "Command.com" ay isang default operating system shell ng MS-DOS (Disk Operating system) and command line interpreter siya ng windows 98, 95, and ME................

COMMAND.COM, on the other hand, exists only for compatibility and 16bit programs. It exists solely for those programs which have not been updated since the days of MS-DOS. It's designed to run 16bit applications, and operates just like the old MS-DOS did.


Ang "cmd" or "CMD.EXE " is a command line processor for 32bit Windows. Much like MS-DOS before it, it provides a character-mode only user interface into which you can type commands to run programs. CMD.EXE is a 32 bit program that is fully a part of Windows - in fact it's what gets run when you select Command Prompt on the Windows Accessories menu.
