ipconfig returns too much

Howdy,

I'm running Vista Ultimate 32bit. When I run ipconfig I get a long list of
tunnel adapters. It is quite annoying as I always have to scroll up. I've
since installed Cisco, SonicWall and Virtual Server and each I think has
multiplied the amount. I now have 38 tunnels! Is there anyway to hide
these?! When I do an ipconfig /all the top config gets cut off due to the
command buffer size. So, is there a way to hide or remove all of these extra
tunnels?

Thanks!
 
I suppose you could remove the adapters or drivers that require the entries,
I suppose. However there is a "Plan B"

Append "|more" without the quotes to the command line.

E.g. ipconfig /? |more

It pipes the command result to a buffer. The screen space will fill to the
bottom and pause. Press enter to move up one line. Press Ctrl C to break
back to the prompt.
 
Another option which I prefer is to use this command:

ipconfig /all > C:\users\userName\documents\ipconfigDaily.rtf

This way you will pipe all your output into an rtf file and it will be
nicely formatted. Then you open the file which may have preset font size for
clarity and peruse it. Or you can search/find your section quickly.
 
Yes, that is often useful, too. The command causes the command's output
being redirected to an ANSI/ASCII file. If Word is installed, having an rtf
extension will result in the file (a text file) being opened in Word. If one
specifies the txt extension, it will open in Notepad.
