How do I enable command extensions in Dos
« on: July 22, 2004, 06:18:49 AM »
I cant get into my documents in dos as it keeps saying too many parameters.  When I try and access using "" it still doesnt work?

I believe if I activate command extensions then I dont need quotes, but ahve forgotten how to do this, can anyone help?

if you mean you want to activate a program file say

it is called  myprog.exe  just  and enter myprog

if you mean you get the error message too many parameters aftrer you issue a command, you have too many spaces

if you are looking for a file whose name is  trowel.par

and the file list looks like  trowel par
you need to put in the dot(period)

hope this helps

You are attempting to change directory to "c:\my documents"?

c:
cd "\my documents"


or

c:
cd \mydocu~1


If you are running an NT-based Windows, the location will be longer.

cd "\documents and settings\username\my documents"
