Run commands

Basically any command can be entered in the run box.
Try cmd for a dos box

winword for word

etc etc

Hope this helps

Hi,

And to add to the above answer, type cmd in the start->run box and that will bring up a console window.

Then type help

That will give you all the native commands you can use.

You can open a DOS window using command.com - once there a number of DOS commands are available e.g. typing command/? will show you a list of the parameters you can use and the syntax necessary the /? is help obviously. Other useful ones are cd/ -current directory back to root directory dir - lists directories within that dir - dir/? etc is help cd [drive:]\[path]\filename to change to a specific location . A list of DOS commands can be found on the net.

If this is not what you meant any executable ( file with .exe after it) can be run from the run box.

entering cmd didnt work but command did. I understand entering the DOS commands and executable file names here, i wanted to know of more utility type programs that are in the 98 operating system like winipcfg etc. Can you list me these commands or tell me where they are listed in the directory structure or link me to a URL!

Point value changed by question poster.

Hi,

Sorry cmd is for Win NT/2K/XP
winipcfg should have told me you were on 98...
...its ipconfig on NT/2K/XP

Anyway, you're probably looking for something like this?

(remove spaces from the above URL)

And here is a link to some of the Networking utilities. Look for "TCP/IP Tools" in the index.

(again remove spaces...)

Hope this helps.
