I tried the shadowexplorer and the nearest thing I have to cmd is the cmddll and cmdl32. Both don't do the cmd.

Sorry, the cmd key opens the command prompt for a millesecond. Then it closes.

Hello TmanTM,

You might see if running a sfc /scannow command may be able to restore the default C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe file for you.

I have downloaded a windows xp version of the cmd.exe because I can't find a windows 7 version. I tried the sfc /scannow command but it says the restore process failed to start or something like that. Should I njust use the cmd.exe that I downloaded?

TmanTM,

No, don't use a XP copy. Here's a clean copy from my system in ZIP file below. After you download the ZIP file, extract (drag and drop) the cmd.exe file to your desktop, unblock the extracted cmd.exe file, then copy it into your C:\Windows\System32 folder.
