I WANT to use a command promt to open a ms-dos batch file LOCATED on my hard drive.

Can I please get a example on how to open the ms-dos batch file located on my hard drive.Example your batch file is in directory c:\my_bat\my.bat:
C:(enter)
CD my_bat(enter)
my.bat(enter)

it's all!

Thanks for the reply.

The file is in its own seperate folder that I created.

here is an example C:\Downloads\frcASPI17

the file is in folder frcASPI17

Do I still use the same process as posted aboveC:
cd downloads
cd frcASPI17
file.bathellwy

I must be doing something wrong that did not work.

It says cant find path when i put in cd downloads the PRESS enteri don't understand about what you are talking... your bat fail is on cd?? Cd means change directory Correct ?

I tried a acouple other folders typing cd folder name enter and it still says system can not find path.

First ensure that you are starting in the root directory of C:

All that should be SHOWING in your command window should be a couple of lines of Copyright info from M$ and below that C:\>

If there's anything else showing after the C:\> (for example Windows or any other folder name) type CD\ to get you to the root directory then enter your cd commands and finally the .bat file name

Good luck
