Q&A for How to Create and Delete Files and Directories from Windows Command Prompt

If you are creating a directory in C drive, the command will be"C:\MD {the name of the directory/folder}" then press Enter.

Navigate to where you want the subfolder created and type "mkdir ".

Change directory into the new sub folder and then on the next line, create your new test file. For example: cd mysubfolder $ type nul > newtextfile.txt

Type 'nul' with a single 'l'. It seems you have mistakenly typed 2 Ls. For example: type nul > filename.extn.

To execute multiple commands at once you use two ampersands connecting the commands. example:"type nul > filename.php && type nul > filename.php" you can do that more times if you desire.

If you use echo "content you want to add" >> filename.txt, you will update the content in the file. But be careful, echo "content you want to add" > filename.txt will overwrite all of the content in the file and replace it.

There isn't any way. This is a setting, and it must be done by the administrator of the computer.

Do the following... (can you get to the command prompt, not using Windows? Do you know how to gain access to the command prompt, being outside of Windows?) That may be the black screen with your cursor blinking at the upper left corner. Try this syntax and you must type it correctly also: C:\Windows\folder name\name of your batch file.bat erase. For example: C:\Windows\Rocker\HeavyMetal.bat erase then type CLS and then type EXIT.

After opening the command line prompt with command 'cmd', navigate to the local directory where your application is installed using the 'cd' command with the path name (eg: cd C:/Program Files/App Name). Then type the name of the application's main executable file (eg: App.exe). The application will launch.

If you want to go back one folder, use command cd. If you want to go back all the way to the top of the directory tree (root), use command cd\.

Wow, seems lik you have an old computer. At the prompt, type the following: C:\>Dir *.* then press ENTER key. To clear the screen is to type in CLS that clears the screen listed items and then you type EXIT to leave the prompt. The asterisk being * and the dot and another asterisk * are wild cards to execute such commands. C:\>windows\*.* and when you press enter it should list all the Window files up on the screen and you use your down arrow on the keypad to see the below items by names. One more thing in order to your files to be in an alphabetical order from A to Z, then type C:\>Dir/W/O (you should write this all out).
