Just curious what changed in XP for you to use it
less? I did not use the CLI any more or less in
XP or Vista than Windows 2000. In fact CLI
functionality only increased in XP. (Don't know
about Vista as do not use it much).

I used it in Win 95 to rename files (using * filters)

What built-in GUI function in Vista/XP do you use for this?
