External command

A MS-DOS command that is not included in command.com. External commands are commonly external either because they require large requirements and/or are not commonly used commands. Below are examples of MS-DOS external commands currently listed in the Computer Hope database.

Many of the external commands are located in the Windows\system32 or Winnt\system32 directories. If you need to locate the external file in order to delete it, rename it, or replace it, you can also find the file through MS-DOS. Additional information about finding a file in MS-DOS can be found on document CH000309.
  • Additional information with MS-DOS and information about each of the commands can be found here.
  • Information about obtaining an external command for your version of Windows / MS-DOS can be found on document CH000640.

Computer Hope cannot and will not provide any user with a downloadable version of any of the above files. If you're looking for a download, we suggest you look for alternative programs that perform the same function as the above commands.
