RE: Windows 7 and ipconfig command
In addition to this, the RIGHT ARROW brings back the previous command one character at a time, and F3 brings back the entire command. The point is that there a number of ways one can accidentally put characters on the line without thinking about it, and then, as you said, typing EXIT results in an error.

Re: Windows 7 and ipconfig command
The good news is, that there exists one way of ensuring nothing is on the command line, prior to your typing the EXIT command. Simply just press the Escape key, type EXIT, and hit Enter.The Escape key, clears the commandline, no matter what is on it at the moment. For different reasons, I find that the Command Prompt Window does not always close, even with the Exit instruction. The best workaround then, is that you press Alt-Space, and scroll to Close, or simply just hit C. This will force the window to be closed. Should none of this work, you always have the last resort to most software hang-ups. Pressing Ctrl-Escape, will bring up the task-manager, and here you can Kill the CMD (or, Command Line Prompt) software.

Re: Windows 7 and ipconfig command
Hi Martha: Try typing cls without the quotation marks, and then pressing Enter. That will clear the screen, then type exit and press Enter. In my experience, just typing exit and then pressing Enter did not work because there was other text on the line where the cursor was, therefore, when I pressed Enter, the system did not recognize the command that I was entering. I hope that makes sense.
