Command Prompt is the tool in Windows which allows users to interact with their computer from a character user interface(CUI). It allows users to bypass most restrictions that are enforced on the Windows explorer based GUI. Hence, it can also be used to remove viruses and malware and also undo their effects. To avoid this, most viruses disable command prompt. Some administrators also purposefully disable it to avoid users changing critical settings of the computer.
In these situations, if you run the command prompt (cmd.exe), you will get an error saying "The command prompt has been disabled by your Administrator". However, there are ways in which you can re-enable it. This article contains some such few simple techniques using which you can easily enable the command prompt.

ReplyDeleteIn this fashion my acquaintance Wesley Virgin's autobiography begins with this shocking and controversial VIDEO.
ReplyDeleteWesley was in the military-and shortly after leaving-he revealed hidden, "SELF MIND CONTROL" secrets that the CIA and others used to obtain whatever they want.
THESE are the same methods tons of celebrities (notably those who "come out of nowhere") and elite business people used to become wealthy and successful.
You probably know that you utilize only 10% of your brain.
Really, that's because most of your brain's power is UNCONSCIOUS.
Perhaps that expression has even occurred IN YOUR own brain... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's brain seven years ago, while driving an unlicensed, garbage bucket of a car with a suspended driver's license and with $3.20 on his debit card.
"I'm absolutely fed up with going through life paycheck to paycheck! Why can't I turn myself successful?"
You've been a part of those those types of questions, am I right?
Your own success story is going to happen. All you need is to believe in YOURSELF.
