Keyboard shortcut to paste clipboard content into command prompt window (Win XP) [closed]

Is there a keyboard shortcut for pasting the content of the clipboard into a command prompt window on Windows XP (instead of using the right mouse button)?

The typical Shift+Insert does not seem to work here.

How do I copy from clipboard to Command Prompt?

Now you can select text using your mouse or the keyboard (hold down the Shift key and use the left or right arrows to select words). Press CTRL + C to copy it, and press CTRL + V to paste it in the window. You can also easily paste text you've copied from another program into the command prompt using the same shortcut.

How do I paste into Command Prompt without a mouse?

ALT + SPACE + E + P <-- for paste.

I personally use a little AutoHotkey script to remap certain keyboard functions, for the console window (CMD) I use:

; Redefine only when the active window is a console window  #IfWinActive ahk_class ConsoleWindowClass  ; Close Command Window with Ctrl+w $^w:: WinGetTitle sTitle If (InStr(sTitle, "-")=0) {      Send EXIT{Enter} } else {     Send ^w }  return    ; Ctrl+up / Down to scroll command window back and forward ^Up:: Send {WheelUp} return  ^Down:: Send {WheelDown} return   ; Paste in command window ^V:: ; Spanish menu (Editar->Pegar, I suppose English version is the same, Edit->Paste) Send !{Space}ep return  #IfWinActive
