Yes, there are all sorts of third-party tools to make cmd.exe useful.
It would be nice, though, if MS could maybe do that natively, so you don't have to install a bunch of stuff just to get basic usability. At this point, it is almost not worth including the command prompt itself, after all, I can just install it with the other stuff.
All of those are nice options, though.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Currently, I will stick with cygwin as it doesn't require admin rights to install (school computer), and does both jobs in one. And it's familiar.
