Dos Command prompt
 

I need to open a folder on my xp desktop using dos command prompt. I forgot
the parameter on how to do this. Can anyone give a correct parameter?
C:\>desktop? I think this won't work

Thanks

Use Explorer to find the path to your desktop and you will see that it is
under documents and settings\username\desktop. Use cd to change to a
directory, cd \ to get back to the drive folder and cd.. to go back one
level. For example if your name is jeff use cd "documents and
settings\jeff\desktop to get to your desktop. Dir will display contents of
a folder. --- Steve
