    Yes, but only if you have a higher level understanding of the machine. If not, if you've just gone to the command prompt because someone told you to do that, sometimes the command prompt will supersede other issues. If you're in the Command Prompt, you have to type exactly what you want, or it's not going to work.

    How can I modify a game?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    If you want to mod a game, then CMD may not work. Some games support modification using 3rd party programs (Minecraft supports Forge for modding). Search the internet for instructions on how to mod the game you want.

    How do I hack a game using this?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    While hacking is not recommended, it is certainly possible. I do not think it is necessarily possible to 'hack' a game, but you could modify its program files and maybe even accidentally corrupt them in the process.

    Select at the same time "Windows Key + R" and enter "cmd". Then a black screen is ready to start for commanding by the user.
