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.

Type CMD in the start button search box.
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.

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.
how did you delete it?
what exactly did you delete? cmd.exe?
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.
