how do u get to kazaa lite directory in dos window?

nope doesnt work

dos doesnt like the space

i'm running xp, and wanted to get to it via dos shell because this one file always crashes my system when i try to delete it

MODS- can u move to Operating systems? THX!
 
Run the "dir" command from the C:\> prompt..it'll show the 8character DOS name for Program Files..should be something like PROGRAM~2, or something like that...then go "cd program~2" (or whatever it was)...dir again, repeat for the KLite dir.
 
i am using winxp pro and the above method works. also, i can also type cd program files at C:, then cd kazaa lite. it works for some reason.

The WinXP shell will do that..but true DOS (ie boot disk DOS) won't.
 
If fou're doing it from Dos window in WinXP (Start, Run, cmd), then you can use full filenames.

If using pure Dos from a boot disk, you will have to use dir to see what the 8.3 filename of Program Files (probably something like PROGRA~1) and Kazaa Lite is (probably KAZAAL~1) then do it from there.

son of a b`tch!

i was using start-run-command, and it wouldnt work. tried start-run-cmd and i can cd kazaa lite no problem!

wtf is the diff betwqeen command and cmd?
 
cmd.exe - "Microsoft Windows 2000" "Copyright 1985-2000 Microsoft Corp"
command.com - "Microsoft Windows DOS" "Copyright Microsoft Corp 1990-1999"

cmd.exe lets you use spaces ex "cd program files"
command.exe is limited to 8 characters and no spaces ex "cd progra~1"
 
Cmd.exe is a newer 32bit program whereas command.com is the old basic 16bit dos interface. I'm not finding the specific advantages but I know it does have more features including long file name support like I listed above. Here is a Technet link... don't know if that really tells you much or not.
