How to set default color scheme in vim
After I’ve shown you Vim and explained the most essential commands, there is is another tip I’ll give to you. As described in the above linked article, Vim brings a really nice syntaxhightlighting implementation with it.

If you work with the Windows command prompt and want to copy files from or to a USB flash drive, then you get a problem. So how to show all drives in the commandline (cmd) from Windows? Without a list of all the drives you won’t know the drive letter of the USB flash drive and without this you won’t be able to access it.
