    Deleted something


    Hello,

    I've been very stupid, And accidentally deleted my Command Prompt (CMD). I was wondering how do I possibly get It back?

    Thank you,
    ChubbyDawn.

    do you mean the shortcut for it in your start-menu?

    have you looked in your recycle bin?

    alternatively, just type cmd into your start-menu searchbox

    *edit oops iggy got there first - you don't need capitals

    it's easy to make yourself a new shortcut too - ask for help if you need it

    Hello Dawn,

    In addition, if it was a shortcut in the Start Menu, you could also use the tutorial below to restore the Command Prompt shortcut if you didn't want to manually create a new one.

    Hope this helps,

    It wasn't a shortcut.

    If the excellent suggestions above don't work, you can do a System Restore. That should restore your Command Prompt.

    Right, So I putted the cmd.exe in my desktop. I was going to delete this file, I didin't want but accidentally selected the CMD as well. Then I putted It in the " Bin ". And deleted everything In the bin, But then I suddenly realised that the cmd was In the bin as well.

    here's a copy of a cmd.exe from a 32bit system.

    put it in windows/system32

    Try a system restore as stated above to a time before you did this, or you can extract the cmd.exe from the windows installation cd and copy it back to your system directory.

    Or, if you're into trusting people on the internet in providing a core system utility, grab Mickey's copy above.
