mine says win doesn't exist. are you talking command prompt in 7 or a dos 6.0 install on something else? if you just type help you get all commands that it understands, if yours understands win then you have some other environment variable set up for it to understand that.

I maybe wrong. But, I don't think there is "Win" command for DOS.

Back when we had Windows 3.1, the system would initially boot to MSDOS and you had to type "WIN" to load Windows or you had to have the command in the autoexec.bat.
Never thought about the WIN command after that. Guess it should not do anything nowadays.

mine says win doesn't exist. are you talking command prompt in 7 or a dos 6.0 install on something else? if you just type help you get all commands that it understands, if yours understands win then you have some other environment variable set up for it to understand that.

On my Windows 7 32bit SP1, it exists but does absolutely nothing.

In old versions of Windows (Windows 98 and older) the win.com command would start Windows from the DOS prompt. In all NT platform systems it does nothing and exists only for compatibility with old batch files. As it is a 16 bit command it does not exist on 64 bit systems.

okay i figured it was as much explains why its not in our x64 win 7's but in the 32 bit ones. that's why i asked him if he was in a actual install of DOS 6.0 as it would have the command. I couldn't find info on what it did anymore.
