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 install xp by command prompt?

To install Windows XP via the command prompt, you need to boot from the Windows XP installation CD. Once the setup starts, press R to enter the Recovery Console, and then you can access the command prompt. However, installing Windows XP typically requires the use of the graphical setup interface instead of solely relying on the command prompt.

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.

The syntax of the net send command is:net send message
