I accidently deleted command.com from my C:\WINDOWS\System32 directory.
My computer appears to run FINE, but I would like it back.
Anyone know where I could get it back. :-?

Download Links? Some sort of restore? I've tryed to google "download command.com" but didn't really find anything USEFUL. :-/

I understand it's not a very popular download seeing as everybody already has it.Check your Recycle Bin
or
Enter sfc /scannow in the Start>Run box. Have your XP CD ready.Well, when I accidently deleted it I did it in cmd.exe, so I don't THINK it got sent to the recycle bin.

I'm going to try and find my XP cd.Happy 100th postday btw! Heh, thanks.

I had trouble finding the disk. Found a Professional Edition disk, but not Home Edition wasn't sure if I should USE it.
Although I do have another idea. Could I copy it over from another computer? This wouldn't cause any problems would it?

I mean they would be the same file after all right? :-?If you copy it from another Windows XP computer, it should be the same file.No Problem.Copy Command.com from ur Freind SYSTEM and Paste it in your C:\Windows\System32\ folder.then it will workI copied over command.com from another Windows XP Home Edition computer. It appears to work fine , and now all of my .com MS-DOS applications work again!

So command.com is like an emulator for all those older 16-bit applications? I'm guessing that's why programs like edit.com weren't working because they were relying on command.com.

Thanks. 8-)
