if you want to navigate to a folder which is deep in a folder tree from command prompt you have to use the cd command a number of times and is very annoying process. You can simply navigate to the folder through file explorer by and right click on the folder by holding the Shift key

You can use Tab button to auto fill file/folder name after a command. This will be helpful for longer filenames which might have so many numbers and all.
for example if you want to copy the following file MsftWdf_User_01_11_00_Inbox_Critical.Wdf; it will be quite difficult to type in that name correctly. you can just type copy after a blank space you can press tab continuously until this file shows up. or to filter out files you can enter few first characters of the file name and press Tab that will display only files which starts with that characters. In this example you can type(without quotes) "copy msf" then press Tab.
You can use up arrow key to use previous commands in command prompt. But if you are trying to find a particular command which you entered before 20 commands then it is a problem. You can view previous commands by using this command
