Be careful. Be Very Careful. I have left out some commands that I dont think were ported to XP "DOS". And some very dangerous ones. Check on Google for the effect these have, and be prepared to reinstall! ATTRIB displays or changes file attributes CHDIR or CD displays the name of the current directory or changes the current directory CHKDSK checks the status of a disk and displays a status report; it can also fix disk errors CLS clears the screen COPY copies one or more files to a destination you specify DEL deletes the files you specify DIR displays the files and subdirectories that are in the directory you specify DISKCOPY copies the entire contents of one floppy disk to another floppy disk. It writes over the existing contents of the destination disk as it copies the new information on it. EDIT starts MS-DOS Editor, a text editor you can use to create and edit ASCII text files. DEL or ERASE deletes the files you specify EXIT quits the MS-DOS command interpreter and returns to the program that started it, if one exists. FIND searches for a specific string of text in a file or files HELP starts MS-DOS Help MKDIR or MD creates a directory MEM displays the amount of used and free memory on your computer MORE displays one screen of output at a time MOVE moves one or more files to the location you specify MSBACKUP backs up or restores one or more files from one disk onto another MSD Provides technical information about your computer PING pings the IP address specified PRINT prints a text file while you are using other MS-DOS commands RD or RMDIR deletes a directory REN changes the name of the file or files you specify TREE graphicaly displays the structure of a directory VER displays the MS-DOS version number XCOPY copies directories , their subdirectories, and files except hidden and system files.	godfather (25)

I assume it'll be same/similar for XP .exe files in Windows directory will run from the Run command, so go into explorer in C:\Windows and sort by Type will show you them all together. You could also go into other folders and copy your .exe's to the Windows directory, and they'll all (should!) work, such as those in the Command folder (C:\Windows\Command). The one I use most often is winipcfg to give me my IP address when I'm playing games online.	Greg S (201)
