DOS windows - a tip.

Hi,

When you need to go into DOS from XP go in using cmd.exe instead of command.exe

The shell started by cmd.exe understands long file names, it makes life much easier!

I have no idea why there are two versions of the shell, one of which makes life hard when dealing with a default install!

Regards
