I almost always add "," in cmd.exe to anything I run from Windows Command Prompt? Why? Because cygwin, or mingw's `dir.exe` would be called instead of built-in dir (well, this is further complicated that I don't really use `cmd.exe` but FAR Commander), so if I want to enforce the built-in over external (same name) command I have to prepend it with "," - so I basically started typing "," in front of each of my commands...
