BleepingComputer.com: Command Prompt

I am wanting to learn to use the Command prompt, my first lesson stopped with the following;



I know I did something wrong, . . but I don't know what is was ?

The command tells Windows to change directory to C:\Windows\Windows\system32\drivers.

Since it can't find the path, it means that one of the sub folders isn't present, that's why it gives out this error.

You are already here - C:\Windows. This means that the folder C:\Windows is present.

Based on your screenshot, our next step would be to verify if there's another folder named Windows in the C:\Windows folder.

To test it, try this command:

C:\Windows>cd Windows

If it gives out an error, that means that C:\Windows\Windows folder doesn't exist, which would explain why you can't change directory to C:\Windows\Windows\system32\drivers folder.

Hello ndmmxiaomayi

Thank you much! I find that very interesting and enlightening!



I'll post back, but pretty busy right now.

I am also trying to learn to use the cmd prompt, a point in the right direction towards beginning my education would be excellent

OK, While I am checking into a site I can point you to , please tell me what is the code box about ?

I have to many pokers in the file, . . occasionally I get some work done but for some reason it doesn't seem that way.

Heres the site I stopped at ;

Jove, it appears that the code box is an attempt at a picture in Aorp's signature.

This Microsoft article will help you out.

Queen-Evie,

I have had similar results, have any idea what causes that, there seems to be so much wasted space ?

Thanks dc3,
I'll get there in the near future, I hope.

Yeah sorry about that. I thought I took that out when I figured out it didn't work, guess not.

Ty for the links
