How I can see the scroll bar on the command line interface?

"c:\Documents and Settings\mt\desktop"
if I use "cd\" command under this directory it will take me to the root
directory which is c:\
but while it is in the C:\> directory how can I take it back to the previous
which is
"c:\Documents and Settings\mt\desktop" again?

Click the icon in the top left corner, and select Properties. Edit the
Window size.
"c:\Documents and Settings\mt\desktop"

Many years ago I used a command-line utility called "popdir" (not from
Microsoft) or similar to do this. Sometimes if you're moving between
folders a lot, just using the up/down arrows to get to previous commands
will suffice.

Hi,

Instead of using the CD command, use pushd/popd instead:

--------------------8<----------------------
C:\Documents and Settings\mt\DESKTOP>pushd c:\

C:\>popd

C:\Documents and Settings\mt\DESKTOP>
--------------------8<----------------------
 
Thanks Torgeir that helps.

Last question how I can see the scroll bar on the left side of the screen
when I am running CLI?

Many thanks.

Scroll bars are always on the right side of the window. There's no way
to change that. (All right, I think the scroll bar is on the left in
right-to-left language versions of the OS. Do you speak Arabic or
Hebrew?)
 
SORRYYYYYY.

I MEAN THERE IS NO SCROLL BAR!!!!

That's different!

Open a command window. Click the icon at the upper left (the system
icon), and select "Properties" at the bottom of the menu. Click the
"Options" tab, and select a suitable large buffer size in the "command
history" box (around 500 maybe).

You might also click the "Layout" tab, and adjust the screen buffer
size (especially the height).
