im linux user but today i started with using windows.

I am switching from Windows to Linux and you Vice a versa....

Anyway..

In windows the Dos window closes automatically if you execuite any dos based file as soon as the program finishes... irrespective of whether error was there or execution was successful.


therefore we open a doswindow first and then do the dos related stuff in that window..

Click Start >> Run >> type "cmd" (Without Quotes) and Press enter


a permanent MSDOS window open (till u close it yourself...)


cd == to change directories like c:\cd windows to go to windows folder

dir == view directories and files

if u r using Xp or 2000 then cd wind* and press enter will take you to windows dir


like in linus in windows you do not have to be case sensitive and you dont requir to typein the file extensions

to execute RunMe.bat which is in windows directory..

"ENTER" is that you press enter

c:\>cd windows "ENTER"
c:\windows>runme "ENTER"


hope this helps
