The symbol of the system, or CMD, is the console that has accompanied us for decades and from where we have the opportunity to manage and administer different parameters of the system and its applications..

Although it is a practical console that gives us multiple options , we have a small problem and that is that, to copy and paste, something we do daily with the Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V keys, in the command prompt they do not work, which is why which we should use only the keyboard.

Today TechnoWikis will teach how to enable the use of these keys in the command prompt and thus have one more option for proper administration..
