Without using any non-standard (Windows included) utilities, is it possible to download using the Windows command line?
The preferred version is Windows XP, but it's also interesting to know for newer versions.
To further clarify my question:
- It has to be using HTTP
- The file needs to be saved
- Standard clean Windows install, no extra tools
So basically, since everybody is screaming Wget, I want simple Wget functionality, without using Wget.

Let's say it can be any windows XP SP2 version and everything released later. – Robert Massa – 2009-10-23T15:19:11.157
@arjan Interesting question, but there's still no definitive answer. – Robert Massa – 2009-10-23T15:19:57.223
I should have asked for "edition". Like Starter, Home, Professional, Media Center, Tablet, maybe even Embedded (good change for tools there I guess!)... Or the European versions without Windows Media Player. :-) – Arjan – 2009-10-23T15:35:39.660
