Stank_Ho Posted April 12, 2009 CID Share Posted April 12, 2009 you can look at the files when once in the windows box type dir or dir/p. I'd be very careful about trying to delete anything. And I don't think this is the screen to use anyway. Hopefully someone with way more know how than I will tell you better information.

wknight40 Posted April 12, 2009 CID Share Posted April 12, 2009 There are numerous things that can be done from the command prompt. Anything from defraging a PC to sending an e-mail through the SMTP server if relaying is allowed. The best thing to do is decide what you want to try and do then do research of doing it. Not trying to be difficult, it's just that there is so much that can be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
