There are loads of them. Here are a few, but be careful!

eventvwr.msc
dxdiag
secpol.msc
devmgmt.msc
diskmgmt.msc
dfrg.msc
msinfo32
osk

You can also use explorer.exe combined with Special Folder CLSIDs

Do this:
- Click Start / Run
- Type cmd {OK}
- Type help {Enter}
The black screen you now see is called the Command Prompt
(often incorrectly referred to as the DOS prompt). From here
you can run any of these commands - if you know what they
are here for! To get help on a specific command, e.g. xcopy.exe,
try this:

xcopy /?

Besides DOS commands (to see a list, open a command prompt window by typing
CMD at Start | Run, then type help) , you can type the name of any .exe
file. The complete list of .exe files on your computer is different from
that on mine. Do a search on exe to see what yours are.

"DOS commands"? Spreading the confusion?

I thought for a while before writing "DOS commands," but couldn't find a
better phrase to use. They *are* DOS commands, even though you're not using
them in a real DOS environment.

Do you have a better short name for them?

They ARE console programs.

Yes, an accurate term, but likely one that would have confused the OP, who
would probably have had no idea what was meant.

Writing "DOS commands" suggests two things:
- That the commands relate to DOS. They don't, except that many
of them have the same name and similar syntax as DOS commands.
- That one works in a DOS environment when opening a Command
Prompt. This is obviously incorrect.

The last point was nicely illustrated by an item posted yesterday:
The OP kept trying to flash his BIOS, following the manufacturer's
instructions verbatim: Run xxx.com in DOS. Windows would not
let him do it, of course, because he was not in DOS. This is why
I strongly oppose the use of the word "DOS" when referring to
the Command Prompt under Windows.

"Console Commands", as suggested by David Candy, sounds
like a good term to me.
