Hi Adrian, That's true, but if there's something you want to search for in the command prompt, once you're in command prompt you can't paste from the clipboard. Here's an example; Let's say you want to find out when your operating system was last installed. The string of text below needs to be entered into the command prompt after it's open:
systeminfo | find "Original Install Date" You could have this on the clipboard, & follow the steps I posted rather than trying to remember exactly how it should be typed into the command prompt.

I'm confused. I can copy the text of a command prompt with control-c and just paste it into the windows 7 run dialog with control-v. No need to go through these steps. What am I missing? Also, the second part of your step 1 more or less duplicates the third part of your step 2. Are the two steps two separate procedures? I don't think so. Hence my confusion. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mike B.

For those that have needed to type a long string of text into the Command Prompt, well you can copy it to the clipboard, & paste it in by following the steps below.

Arrow up / down to the, Paste, option, & press enter, and the contents of the clipboard should be pasted in the command prompt. 4. Press enter again to start the pasted command.
