Where can we get a list with all the commands when you use this feature?
I don't know what it's called so can't do a search on the net for it. It
sure seems useful. They are not in my "XP for Dummies" book. What is
this feature called?

Thanks.

Hi,

The run prompt is simply another way to execute commands or instructions.
This is how things got done before the nice point-and-click interface you
are used to. You can run any self-executing file, or any file extension that
the system understands what to do with. There is no list, as it could
encompass literally millions of things - for instance you can type in any
URL and the system will load IE (or whatever your default browser is) and
launch the page. Or you can enter any .exe, .com, or .scr filename from your
system or program folders and it will run. The possibilities are endless.

It's called ... um ... Start | Run
You can type any executable in Start | Run.

======================
The obvious question is where do I learn these commands you guys have had
me, or others type in?

sfc or cmd or %temp% or msconfig ? Where are these things learned? Is
there a book or list?

Without a sound understanding of DOS, or without owning any books on
the subject, your best bet is to get a notebook and write down the commands
when someone mentions them here, and make a note about what the command does.
You can do a search and find some commands, but it will be incomplete. Often,
windows can execute the same results as using the run command, but not always.
This is one of those things people have learned over time. These commands
are a kind of language and must be entered perfectly in order to get the
proper results. You don't strike me as a person who wants to invest much
time in reading, but if you want to know about this, a book on DOS commands
will give you some insight, although some of those commands are no longer
supported by XP. For most users, taking some notes will probably be sufficient.
I myself have 2 books on DOS and have no desire to go back through them
just for the hell of it.

** Until recently I didn't HAVE much time to spend reading.

** OK. Understood.

Works (just read)**
!!!!COPY AND PASTE THIS NOW!!!!!
I have been on the internet for 10 years now and have received in my
e-mail many many times letters referring to making money and like
most of you have ignored them - anyway a few weeks ago I decided to
see what happened as an experiment as I had heard quite good reports
about this scheme over the last few years. A little while back, I
was browsing through newsgroups, just like you are now, and came
across an article similar to this that said you could make thousands
of dollars within weeks with only an initial envestment of $12.00!
So I thought, "Yeah right, this must be a scam", but like most of us
I was curious, so I kept reading. Anyway, it said that you send
$2.00 to each of the 6 names and addresses stated in the article.
You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list
at number 6,and post the article in at 100 newsgroups. (There are
hundreds of thousands) No catch, that was it. So after thinking it
over, and talking to a few people first, (especially the legal
issue), I thought about trying it. I figured, "What have I got to lose
except 6 stamps and $12.00, right?" Then I invested the measly
$12.00. Well GUESS WHAT!?...Within 7 days, I started getting money
in the mail! I was shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the
money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $70.00. By
the end of the second week I made a total of over $1000.00! In the
third week, I had over $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is
now my fourth week, I have made a total of just over $42,000.00, and
it's still coming in rapidly. Let me tell you how this works and
most importantly, WHY it works.
Firstly, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you
can get the information off as you need. I promise you that if you
follow the directions exactly, that you will start making more than
you thought possible by doing something so easy! Read this entire
message carefully! (Print it out or download it.) Follow the simple
directions and watch the money come! It's easy.

IMPORTANT: This is not a rip-off, it is not indecent, it is
completely LEGAL, and it is 99% no risk - it really works! If all of
the following instructions are adheared to, you will receive
exraordinary dividends.

PLEASE NOTE: Follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50,000.00 or more
can be yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful
because of the honesty and integrity of the participants. Please
continue its success by carefully adhering to the instructions. You
will now become part of the Mail Order Business. In this business,
your product is not solid and tangible, it's a service. You are in
the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many large cororations
are happy to pay for qualty lists. However, the money made from
Mailing Lists is secondary to the income which is made from people
like you and me asking to included in that list. Here are the 3 easy
steps to success:


STEP ONE: Get 6 separate piece of paper and write your name and
address plus the following on each piece of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON
YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 12 US$ and place TWO inside EACH of the
6 pieces of paper so the $12.00 will not be seen through the envelope
(to prevent thievery). Next, place one paper in each of the
envelopes and seal them. You would now have 6 sealed envelopes,
each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your name and
address, two $1.00. What you doing is creating a service and
you are paying for it! Like most of us I was sceptical and a little
worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked.with bbd and its ok.
Mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:



1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.domenic narducci 105 calvington dr/toronto/ont/m3m2m3


STEP TWO: move
the other names up 6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc., and Add YOUR NAME
as number 6 on the list.

STEP THREE: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this
article as close to the original as possible. Now, post this amended
article to at 100 newsgroup. ( There are close to 450,000
groups on Yahoo Groups alone ). All you need is 100, but remember,
the more you post, the more money YOU make! You won't get very much
unless you post like crazy!

This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to
Title 18 Sec. 1302 & 1341 of the International Postal Lottery Act.
Keep a copy of these steps for the yourself and, whenever you need
money you can use it again, and again. PLEASE REMEMBER that this
program remains successful because of the honesty and integrity of
the participants and by their carefully adhering to the directions.
Look at it this way. If you are of integrity, the program will
continue and the money that so many others have received will come
your way.

NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you,
either on a computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send
you. This VERIFIES that you are truly providing a service. (Also, it
might be a good idea to wrap the $2.00 in paper to reduce the risk
of mail theft.) So, as each post is downloaded and directions
carefully followed, six members will be reimbursed for their
participation as a List Developer with two dollars each. Your name
will move up the list geometrically so that when your name reaches
the #1 position you will be receiving tens of thousands of dollars
in CASH!!! what an opportunity for only $12.00 ($2.00 for each of
the six listed above) Send it now, add your name to the list and
your're in business!


NOTE: Send only US dollars in this program as the US dollar always
has a stable exchange rate and is easily available to peoples
outside the US. If you live outside the US then please exchange local
currency int 12 US$. Exchanging money int $ is cheap, easy and can
be done at most banks, post offices, embassies even super markets.
It will all be worth it when you start receiving thousands of
dollars in the mail. Also letters to places other than your own
country, it is good idea to send them air-mail not by land, there
is not a lot of difference in price for this.


********************POSTING TO NEWSGROUP*******************


STEP ONE: You do not need to type this entire letter to do your own
posting. Simply put your cursor at the begining of this letter,
drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy'
from the edit menu. Open a blank 'notepad file' and place the cursor
at the top of the document then select 'paste' from the edit menu.
Then delete the first name #1, make the second name #1 etc., then
add your name and address to #6, then save the file as a .txt file,
so you have the file to go back to.

STEP TWO: Using Netscape or Internet Explorer try searching for
various newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites,
dicscussion boards, etc.) One largest newsgroups can be found
at Yahoo Groups (http://groups.yahoo.com) and ListBot at
(http://listbot.com). Also, if you use Outlook Express and Netscape
Messenger you will have access to hundreds of thousands of newsgroups
worldwide. Visit these newsgroups, guesstbooks, message boards etc.,
and post this article as a new message by highlighting the text of
this letter selecting 'paste' from the edit menu. Fill in the subject
header, try and think of something that a curious
person can't resist from checking , that's it! Keeping posting in the
newsgroups, a matter of second. There is a faster way. If you use
Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express to select newsgroups rapidly.
You only need one time, 'Copy and Paste'to send to all of them
automatically.


******REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST, THE MORE YOU GET**
You have to post a minimum of 100 and that's it!! You will start
receiving money from around the world in a matter of days! You may
want to rent a P.O. Box due to the large amount of mail you will
receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to
use, as long as the postal service will deliver it.
Get all your work colleagues or school friends involved. Talk it over
with all your friends or simply post it to everyone in your e-mail
address book.

Here are some useful links, but remember there are thousands more:
Yahoo Groups http://groups.yahoo.com
SmartGroups http://smartgroups.com
Yahoo Clubs http://clubs.yahoo.com
ListBot http://www.listbot.com
MSN Communities http://communities.msn.com
Bravenet Forums http://www.bravenet.com
Ezboard http://www.ezboard.com

REMEMBER: The program relies on the honesty and integrity of the
people involved we are in a WIN WIN situation, basically, what we are
doing is helping each other get enough money to afford those basic
things we desperately want, with a lot more extra.
So you have posted this message on at least 100 newsgroups,m you get 5
responds to begin with. Each of the 5 persons sent you $2.00. These 5
people now make the MINIMUM 100 postings, each with your name at #5
and 5 persons respond to each of the oringinal 5, that is another
$50.00 for you, now those 25 make 100 MINIMUM postings with your
name at #4 and 5 replies each, this will bring in an additional
$1250.00 and you can see it just goes on and on and on.
Good luck every body this works! I am sorry I have been a skeptic for
all these years and now I am kicking myself for ignoring those e-mails,
by now I could have been very very wealthy.
