You need to be on the top level of the directory. You usually start in C:/Windows or something. To go up a level you type 'cd ..' Keep on typing that until you are ate C;/

nope. didnt work! just does nothing. no error popsor nothing. just stays at V:\Users\kz and i did also try getting into C:\ (cd c:\ ?)

this is also assuming your using the windows emulated msdos?

if your using true ms dos, then paths longer than 8 charcters will need truncating ie

progra~1 = program files

get to the c drive, then type:

"cd C:\Documents and Settings\kz\Desktop\New Folder"

do that and it will work, if it doesnt then there isnt a folder on the desktop

type in help /?, or whatever command /?, eg cd /?

think i tried that, but ill give it another go...

and john, just "cd" on its own!? i know "cd.." goes down a level

yeah so if your "new folder" is in your desktop,
C:\Documents and Settings\kz\Desktop\newfolder
should do the job.

cd

im in c:\documents and settings\kz or whatever, i type dir at the beginning to find all the files there... the directory "desktop" is there, i can display whats in the desktop (a folder called "new folder" is what i want) but how do i actually get into it?

in case that makes no sence i wanna be able to display whats in "new folder" ... how do i move up a level?
