Is there a addon that can remember the history of Command Prompt commands across sessions?
In Unix and Linux the commands entered in Terminal are remembered across various terminals and even across sessions. The trick is that they are stored in a .history file. I was just wondering if Windows Command prompts can be equipped with this by way of some registry trick or any add on?

The ommand prompt history does not persist across sessions. You could manually grab this before closing your prompt by typing doskey /history > history.txt Or... you could use PowerShell as your CMD prompt, and follow this post to persist your history across sessions. http://blogs.msdn.com/powershell/archive/2006/07/01/perserving-command-history-across-sessions.aspx
