Best Answer

The filename for the command processor shell for most Windows versions from XP and up are command.com (usually used for older DOS applications that are designed to work with Windows) and cmd.exe. They both exist in \Windows\System32.

How can you access DOS while Windows XP SP2 is starting up?

Windows XP does not have 'proper' dos, but it does have a command prompt which is a lot like dos. You can access a DOS-like command prompt before booting Windows XP by first restarting your computer and before the Windows XP loading screen appears, repeatedly hit the 'F8' key on your keyboard. This will give you boot up options. One of them will be 'Safe Mode with Command Prompt'. This is the same command prompt that would appear if you hit [Windows]+[R] key in Windows and typed 'cmd' and then hit enter.

How do you chat on command prompt?

There is no direct "chat" facility built into the command prompt on any version of Windows. The closest would probably be the "net send" command of Windows NT/2000/XP, though this is disabled on Windows XP by default, and is not present at all in Windows Vista or Windows 7. The syntax of the net send command is:net send message


What is the primary dns in command prompt?

To get your network information from a command prompt, first you need to get your command prompt window open. You can do this from Xp and older by clicking the start button then typing cmd in the "run" box. In windows 7, click on the windows button then type cmd in the "search programs and files" box and the window will come up. Once you have the command prompt window open, just type ipconfig in that window and hit enter. this will give you lots of useful network information such as your TCPIP address. you can also type in ipconfig /? to get all of the possible "switches" you can use to get specific info.
