use the

By the way, I'm running Vista Ultimate and can NEVER remember using a

You don't know what you're talking about.


Vista & XP call it a command window. Keep using Vista, you will get to
see one soon enough...

Basically untrue
There are no weird commands to the user. Just selections like "boot to safe mode?" etc.
