How often have you wanted to copy the output of a Windows command from the command prompt, but had to go thought the process of marking and copying the text first?
Redirecting the command and it’s output is as easy as this:
ipconfig /all | clip
will pipe the results of ipconfig into the clipboard, which can then be pasted into notepad with a CTRL-V. How convienent is that! This works in Windows 2003 and higher (sorry, no Windows XP).

Awesome!
Will certainly come in handy
This works natviely in Windows 2003, 2008, Vista, and Windows 7 beta; previously it was only in the Resouce Kits.
But…you can simply copy clip.exe from Windows 2003 to your XP machine and it works there too.

An easier way:
ipconfig /all>>ipconfig_all.txt
notepad c:\ipconfig_all.txt
