    Command Prompt...

    In XP and 2000, you can also "cd my*" and you will go to the first directory that begins with "my". That's one of the few positive features I've found in those OS's.

    Windows 2000 or windows XP ?

    Regardless of popular opinion, Windows 2000 and Windows XP are both upgrades to Windows NT, not Windows 98. I can tolerate 2000 but I detest XP. I think 98 is currently the very best Windows operating system and I think DELL made a mistake by not offering it as an option in their online...

    Really strange - can't create a folder called con

    CON is a special file and always has been. So are LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, and AUX. At some point in the remote past, CON stood for CONSOLE and you could write to the CONSOLE (monitor) by sending data to CON. I've never actually send anyting to CON but I frequently check...

    How can I do an XP Home disk-to-disk backup non-interactively?

    I would like to make a complete, bootable copy from C: to D: (hard drive to hard drive) automatically, non-interactively, every night in Windows XP Home Edition. I did this in Windows 98 using DELTREE and XCOPY32 but XP has no DELTREE. And before somebody tells me to get DELTREE from a prior OS...

    Windows Protection

    I had a similar problem a year or so ago when I tried to install a Promise IDE card to get more ports - except that I get the "Windows Protection Error" when booting. I pulled the new card out and it worked fine. Several months later, when I had time to actually troubleshoot the...

    Rundll 32

    You might try running c:\windows\system\sfc.exe and extract one file from installation disk. The file would be RUNDLL32.EXE. You might also want to Scan for Altered Files to see if any others need fixing. If your system was installed by professionals, the location of your "installation...

    "phantom" bad sectors

    This may or may not help. There are two types of format - low level and high level. A low level format is done at drive level by a utility usually written by the manufacturer - Maxtor in this case. If it finds bad sectors, it maps around the entire track at the drive level and the operating...

    Need equivalent to DELTREE on XP

    A trick I use on small network file servers (pre-xp) is to 1. equip the machine with 2 hard drives 2. write a batch file to (a) deltree /Y d: (b) xcopy32 /c /h /e /k c:\ d:3. add the batch file to the task scheduler to run before the tape backup. Thus, I have two backups, one on-site and...
