virus - msinfo.exe

[Derek]

I am trying to use DOS to show attributes and delete a
virus in the file msinfo.exe
I can't CD to drectories that have multiple names. I am
trying to access C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft
Shared\msinfo.exe
I can't figure out how to get to a directory with spaces
in the name.

Please Help!

Put quotes around the directory name.

CD "Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared"

Doug - It doesn't work as follows:

C:\>cd "Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared"
Parameter Format Not Correct - "Program

C:\>cd C:\"Program Files"
Too Many Parameters - program

Any other ideas?

Thanks, Derek

First, you can't CD to a drive and Path, so that's the second issue. How
are you accessing the command prompt? Start, Run and entering COMMAND or
CMD? The COMMAND.COM method doesn't support long file names, the CMD.EXE
method does.
