In Windows Vista, the CLIP command to copy the results of Appeal in a DOS command prompt. This trick may be useful if you are asked to paste the results of the IPCONFIG command, for example, in a forum, it can avoid retyping all results.

  • If you have an order that requires considerable time for its performance, then we must wait. The disadvantage is that nothing indicates that the execution of a command completed or not, you just wait until it will be possible to retype the command prompt.
  • Note that it is preferable to choose carefully the parameters of the order to avoid intermediaries confirmation messages because these messages are interpreted in the background without you remember. For help on a command type the command followed by /?
  • At the end of the implementation of the command, type EXIT. The results will be immediately copied to the clipboard.


  • Stick them in the forum (go directly into the forum and do "Paste").
