## Command line on Windows
Some Windows users are not familiar with the command line. Here is how to open a
terminal and run `scrcpy` with arguments:
1. Press <kbd>Windows</kbd>+<kbd>r</kbd>, this opens a dialog box.
2. Type `cmd` and press <kbd>Enter</kbd>, this opens a terminal.
3. Go to your _scrcpy_ directory, by typing (adapt the path):
```bat
cd C:\Users\user\Downloads\scrcpy-win64-xxx
```
and press <kbd>Enter</kbd>
4. Type your command. For example:
```bat
scrcpy --record file.mkv
```
If you plan to always use the same arguments, create a file `myscrcpy.bat`
(enable [show file extensions] to avoid confusion) in the `scrcpy` directory,
containing your command. For example:
```bat
scrcpy --prefer-text --turn-screen-off --stay-awake
```

Then just double-click on that file.
