Two Questions:

1. ¿How do I change from?: c:\Documents and Settings\[my mame]> to c:

2. ¿Where can I find a list of commands for "cmd"?

1. Type cd\ and press ENTER.

2. Open Help and Support and search for CMD.

1. Click Start - All Programs - Accessories
2. Right click on Command Prompt and choose Properties
3. Type "C:\" in "Start in " box or the path you wish to assign.
4. Click in "Shortcut Key" box and assign a shortcut e.g. press CTRL+ALT+C.

Now, just press your assigned shortcut like CTRL+ALT+C and you will be at
Command Prompt on C:\.

For your information, if you will still use START - RUN - CMD then the path
will not change because when you type CMD in RUN box then window execute
WINDWS\SYSTEM32\CMD file and if you click on Command Prompt in Accessories
then it execute the shortcut of CMD. Both have different properties.

Secondly, if you want help on CMD command then type CMD /? at command
prompt. If you want help on all dos command then type HELP at command prompt.
You can also use Window's Help and Support.

Hope this information helps you, let us know!

Yes, usefull info....however; for example; CMD /? & HELP does not list ALL
commands.....ie: PING....it is a valid dos command yet....CMD /? nor HELP
lists it.

¿¿What other valid commands are missing?? ...... ¿¿Deltree??


thanks for all the help.

I'm looking for a comprehensive, full listing....hidden or otherwise.

When you search for "CMD" in Help and Support, click the "Full text search
matches" in the results menu and you will see a link for "Command-line
reference A-Z". click that link for a more comprehensive list of commands.
On that link you will also see another link "For information about
functionality that has been changed or is no longer available in Windows XP,
see New ways to do familiar tasks". You can also get the same information
from the following website.

I told you that HELP command will display all Dos command. However, you can
also search for Dos command help in Window's Help and Support.

In Dos, you can also use this command for help:

[Command Name] /?

E.g. PING /?
DIR /?

Deltree is not available in CMD. Hope this information helps you, let us know!

Try this Website,
http://www.computerhope.com/msdos.htm#02. Also, type cd \ (that's cd space
and then the backslash \), it will take you to the root of your C drive from
Documents and Settings. Once in your C drive you can type a: to get to your
Floppy drive and c: to get back to your C drive. Only if you have a floppy
drive will this work. Much success to you.
