what i'd like to know is is it true that if you set an option within command prompt (such as sound, or pointer speed) you can set it to above what is allowed in control panel?

Please be more specific I'm not sure what you mean when you ask if it's more than allowed by control panel. that's a Windows issue.
I think what you're asking is if you can control Windows settings within the command prompt and that those changes will apply even after closing the command line window. If indeed such commands exist, they should work this way.
well my question is is there a way that you can change your mousespeed with a command in command prompt?
Can't you change your pointer speeds in Control Panel, Mouse, Pointer Options, to a suitable speed?
well i know how to do that it's just that what i'm trying to do is use the command prompt to change my pointer speed so i can set it faster than usual.
I agree with Cytherian that you should be able to do that using a batch file but I'm not knowledgeable enough to tell you how to create it.
Well, what do you know... I just found out that you can invoke the Control Panel from the command line. Check out this "List of Control Panel Commands in Windows 7, 8, Vista, and XP".
While this isn't exactly what you're looking for, there is an entry for Mouse. You can invoke the control panel for the mouse, either with "main.cpl" when using the "Run" function or from the command line executing "control mouse". This isn't any different from clicking a shortcut for Mouse Properties, but you can put the command in a batch file with other commands so that you don't require a manual launching for it. Unfortunately, there is no way to pipe in parameters from the command line for a "single click" alteration of the characteristics. You'd probably have to write a Visual Basic program for that.
