'Editing Default Commands on Windows Command Prompt
I am creating a Windows virtual machine and would like to edit the default commands for the command prompt like tree so that when that command is typed it will do what I want it to do. I found 'tree.com' in System32, but when I open it, it is gibberish. How might I be able to read and edit it?
Solution 1:[1]
Modifying basic Windows programs is not a good idea (in case you need them there not there anymore), but there's another approaches: doskey, based on UNIX aliases: this allows you to, when you enter tree, to start up another program instead. Help can be found under doskey /? and there are plenty of examples online.

Files with extension .com are compiled executables. There is nothing to edit in there.
