Windows 7 Command Prompt DEL"file.ext" Access Denied
Apr 27, 2012
Okay, a bit complicated here. Long story short (ha) I bestowed ownership and privileges to my specific user, renamed the original "radpppoe.sys" to "raspppoe_orig.sys" and replaced the 1st original with a Vista copy. It was supposed to stop an Ethernet connection error. Idk why it's so hard to set up an Ethernet connection on Win 7; I've done it before so easily on earlier versions, anyway. When I rebooted, Windows would SEEM to start normally until an errors shows "autochk program not found - skipping AUTOCHECK" and it restarts. The Start-up Repair didn't work, I have no restore point to fall back on, and the only other option wouldn't allow JUST my system files to be repaired (twas grayed out; probably cause i don't have a reinstall CD) and I don't want to lose my files. So I tried to delete the "radpppoe.sys" and rename the "radpppoe_orig.sys" back to "radpppoe.sys". I found the codes to do it online but I get the error "Access Denied". I thought that odd since I restored ownership and privileges to ME. I don't know how to change those security settings from the cmd prompt or if it's even feasible.
My last ditch effort COULD be to buy a 1TB drive and back up all my files then reinstall..

This might be a silly question, but I'm having a terrible time trying to access files on the host machine (Windows 7) through the command prompt within the Virtual Machine (XP). I can see the drives in Explorer (e.g. C on VAULT_CORE_I&) and I see sclientc in the prompt, but I have no idea how to access the drive from the prompt.
I'm trying to help out a colleague who runs an old FORTRAN compiler and does alot of his engineering calcs with it, and would not work in Windows 7 (but it is working in XP Mode). However, I'd like to keep the files on his Windows 7 machine and not contain them inside the virtual machine.

In UNIX, for changing the directory path, there is "cd" command. .This works fine in windows 7 too.. But the problem comes when we are trying to change the path using environment variables. .
In UNIX, cd $JAVA_HOME changes the path to the value set for JAVA_HOME,
Similarly is there any command in Windows which does the trick from command prompt for changing path using Environment variables. .

Ok So I got myself into a unique bind here. I was trying to install some custom system files (for a theme) and I did it wrong and now I cant open explorer.exe . I dont want to goto a backup because this is a easy fix. (in my view). So I need to know how to run command prompt with administrative privleges from command prompt.
I am trying to do this command: copy explorer.exe C:Windows
So if there is also another command I can just tack onto that that gives me admin rights to do it. I would be happy.

What is the main difference between Powershell and Command Prompt? I use cmd quite a lot, and I know that certain functions in Powershell, such as diskpart, gets referred to command prompt, then what is the use for powershell? Why should one use it and what is the main benefit of using it?

I ran one of the performance reports today, which claims I have a disk with the dirty bit set. Recommended running chkdsk.Fired up a command prompt and typed chkdsk v: /f/r/x..Access Denied as you do not have sufficient privileges.You have to invoke this utility running in elevated mode.SO, I right-clicked and ran the command prompt as an Administrator. EVEN THOUGH I'M ALREADY AN ADMINISTRATOR.Got exactly the same result. Went into the command properties and SET the thing to "Run as Administrator".UAC is turned OFF.There are days with Windows 7 where I feel like everything is 2 steps forward and 1 step back. How do I make it let me do a simple chkdsk - no I DON'T want to set something to have it run at boot, or go find some 3rd party program to do the same thing. I just want to run chkdsk from this box from a command windows.

bootable image that contains a command prompt other than the windows 7 install or recovery disks. I just did some troubleshooting today, and I'm not exactly an expert, so I had to keep booting back into the disk after verifying that my fixes didn't work .

My OS on my notebook is Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit. I have an issue with cmd.exe. I cant scroll properly. For example if I type ipconfig /all, it runs however, I can't return to the top (the line which says the version etc. or even to the line where I typed ipconfig) It does not allow me to scroll the beyond the height of the window, so the first line I am able to see is lease expires. Another example is, when I type help, I can;t see the whole list of commands. Scrollbar doesn't go beyond a certain limit.

Windows 7 will not start and I have been through the various repair and system restore processes with no success. Before doing a recovery, I have some files I would like to retrieve from the MyDocuments folder (pics, etc) but cannot find the directory from the command prompt. I have already copied some documents that were not in that folder, but I haven't been able to find the MyDocuments directory tree.

So I downloaded a firmware for my Canon. I was suppose to drag it to desktop. It was a exe file, then I choose to open it with winrar. This action messed up my whole computer. Every exe file has a little icon of winrar and can't open and said corrupted. Some will open but then ask what program to open and I have to chose the icon. Bottom line, I can't even open system restore. Click on system restore and it asked me what program to open. Can't even open command prompt. It ask for what program to open.

Just now, I was reading posts here when a Command Prompt (black) windows opened, titled taskeng.exe. This is the Task Scheduler, right? Why is it opening a Command Prompt window, never did this before. I noticed The Windows update icon is now in the System area of the TaskBar, so I suspect it was Automatic Updates kicking in, but why the black CP window?

I have a new pc (Windows 7) and the moment I got it home the screen display diminished so that it was something like three quarters of the full screen, with black bands on either side and having to swivvle from left to right to read the full contents of the screen. I must later have pressed something inadvertently, as it decided to be full screen again! However, it is back to three quarters format and I haven't been able to find any useful guidance as to how to get it back to full screen again. This is driving me mad!

I have a conceptronic CHD3NET network drive in my home network. It runs the latest firmware (v014 - which includes Samba version 3.2.14). In the network there are linux, winxp, vista and just recently win7 machines. All can map drives on the CHD3NET. All the versions of windows can read the files on the mapped drives from windows explorer. All can access the mapped drive from a command prompt EXCEPT win7. Using dir on a win7 machine displays a listing where all the filenames (and folder names) are blank. with a bit of experimentation (by doubleclicking batch files on the mapped drive), it seems win7 thinks there is an unprintable character at the beginning of the filename. It seems to misunderstand the chads at the end as well and concatenates several filenames into one.

Command prompt window appears and disappears , I mean it runs itself,it opens up and closes as quickly as it popped up,it happens while I surf the internet or leave the computer idle for sometime.

I recently had a laptop crash (Windows 7 Home Premium x64) during a windows update, had to go through lengthy process which ultimately resulted in need to do system recovery from protected partition on an Acer laptop.
One of the interim steps i had tried was to run chkdsk from a command prompt after having been able to reach "repair your computer". I originally had to create a repair disk to get there, but eventually was able to access it from the computer's hard drive.
Run from the command prompt under start-up repair, the chkdsk was PAINFULLY slow, running for more than 12 hours and without getting through the first step. Granted, it did seem to be trying to fix errors.
I came across something about it being slow based on allocation of system resources in the start-up repair. I wanted to see if anyone could elaborate on that. Now that I've gotten the system recovery working, I'd like to run chkdsk again, and I don't want that to take days. My thought is to run it from an elevated command prompt (run as administrator). I'm also thinking that the /x switch will be needed to run this on the c:drive.

Trying to install windows 7 on my new hard drive since my old one died on me, I set it to boot from disc and it just loads up the cmd prompt. I'm sure I just have to enter a cmd but I can't seem to find anything that works. I've searched around of course but haven't had any luck so I give up.
