| 532583 | 2007-03-13 04:45:00 | ive been tinkering around with DOS and must have changed some settings. whether i creat a new folder with the mouse, or go 'md xxxx', in DOS, it is a read only. So i cant delete it within DOS by going 'del xxx' help please |

| 532584 | 2007-03-13 04:49:00 | attrib -r *.* might work. It works in real DOS. (*.* will do all files (maybe directories, too, but that might want just "*". The name of one item will always work). | Graham L (2) | ||
| 532585 | 2007-03-13 04:53:00 | nope. doesnt seem to change anything. still read only | wawape**s (11201) | ||
| 532586 | 2007-03-13 05:01:00 | ok. on the 'read only' box, its colored green instead of a tick. I dont know what that means. But i still cant be able to delete a folder from dos by going 'del new folder' |

| 532589 | 2007-03-13 05:17:00 | Try using the correct command . del deletes files; rd ("Remove Directory") deletes directories . :D When it asks you if you are sure, it's asking if you want to delete any files in the directory . (see the "\*" it added) . Thinking about it, if it had been an attribute problem, DOS would have told you that . Try the attrib command, with no arguments or options to confirm that . |
