Where to put alias commands for use in Windows 7

Question

I know you can add alias commands in Linux to the .bashrc file, but Window 7 definitely does not use bash.

Where and how can I add alias commands for use in the command prompt cmd.exe?

Answer 1

The alias command is not available in DOS (or the cmd.exe phaux DOS). There are some options, but generally you're going to have to use doskey, make a .bat file to handle your command, or do a registry edit (hack).

Here are some options.
