How did bill gates get into computers?

Bil Gates changed computers by creating Windows. Before windows was made, you had to type everything you wanted the computer to do. If you want to open a file right now, you just need to double-click on it. Before, you should know the location of the file AND the command t open it. That system was called DOS ( in your computer, you should have MS-DOS, wich is a Microsoft version of the first DOS). Nowadays, DOS is no longer used as a standalone operating system. The difference between Windows and DOS, its mainly the interface. In DOS you type the commands, in Windows you have your mouse! Simple, but. user-friendly

Most PC's use to run off of DOS. In DOS, command lines were used for everything that you did. Anyone that has used DOS will recognize the C:\> line. That is how most commands began. When Windows was introduced, a command did not have to be typed out for each and every thing. Instead, there would be icons on the desktop. When the icon was clicked on, the file would open into a new screen. This process was known as "opening a window".


When you are in DOS mode what is the command to get back to Windows?

The command is exit regardless what version of DOS or Windows you are running. DOS has not changed even in the Windows 2000 and XP versions exit is still the command to close a DOS correctly. When you get to DOS type ver or version to see what version of DOS you are running. Plus, how are you getting to DOS from Windows? Are you opening a Run prompt and typing command? Are are you typing cmd at the Run prompt? This has something to do with it also. type Exit and press enter Other wise you are on Restart in DOS MODE then Press Win and your computer automatically restart other press ALT+TAB or Alt+Tab
