Can someone tell me how I can change the folder path on command prompt.
Only C:\Documents and Settings\ username> is available.
I log on as administrator and I also have a guest account - is this the problem?
Type in (e.g.)
chdir c:
and press Enter.
chdir c:\ and press Enter.
Is what I meant!
.....or just CD changes directory.
For example
CD C:\
changes to the root.
CD..
takes you one step up the directory tree.
type cd
to take you back to C:> , typing "cd windows" would take you to C:\WINDOWS
typing D: would take you to drive D:
E: to drive E: etc
in command prompt, type help for a full list of the main command words.
Sorry - but CD does not take you to the root.
CD:
takes you to the root.
CD windows ... only takes you to windows if you are in the root - ie it only takes you to the named subdirectory of the directory you are already in.
To get help for a specific command type
(name of command) /?
Oh dear all these dos commands get to you in the end -
should read above
Sorry - but CD does not take you to the root.
CD C:\ takes you to the root
And I got it right the first time!!!

Very helpful, as to me DOS can be a bit tricky.

i should have written cd\ takes you back to the root C:>
sorry
