If you have deleted the cmd.exe file from c:\windows\system32 folder, you could find a copy of CMD.exe in the c:\windows\winsxs\ folder.
My 64 bit windows 7 has two sets of CMD.exe as shown in the image. You could search for it in the windows\winsxs folder and copy back.
you may have your system files hidden.
in windows explorer, hit the 'alt' key to bring up a menu bar >> tools >> folder options >> view >> show hidden files, folders or drives.
c:\windows\system32 is where it should live.
remember to hide your files again afterwards.
Right so I've added, It to my System32. Thing's such as, Bat files. Will they work now? Also, Command Prompt? In the accessories folder?
try it by typing cmd in your start-menu searchbox, or clicking the 'command prompt' shortcut in accessories
Yeah It work's now, Thanks very much!
Love you guys forever!
As long as the cmd.exe file is in c:\windows\system32 folder, it should work fine.
You can also try to access it by pressing shift key while right clicking on a folder and selecting "Open Command Window here".
Just click on my computer, at the right top of your screen type in winsxs, click on the winsxs folder. then at the top of the screen type in cmd, scroll down and find (cmd.exe 295 kb for 32 bit win) or (cmd.exe 337 kb for 64 bit win) copy that application to C:windows/system32. you don't have to re-install windows and go through all of that trouble.
