Re: How do you get a C:\ prompt in Windows XP?

[Thom Park]

Hi,

not sure what you're trying to do.

If you're trying to get to C:\, you have to do it in two steps:

1. set your default device to c:
C:

2. set your directory to the top level \:

cd \

you should now be in the C:\ directory

If you're simply trying to get a command prompt,
then just use start->run and enter cmd.exe
for an XP command window or
start->run and enter command.com for a DOS prompt.

Thanks for your tips. When I type C:\ I get the following message 'C:\' is

file.
Any other suggestions?

Agreed....avoid spaces in pathnames if you can.

As an aside, there is no reason to switch directories to start Tomcat.

You

can do so by typing something like c:\tomcat\bin\startup.bat from any
command prompt in Windows.

Any help would be much appreciated.

To change the working directory to C: type C:\ and press enter in the
command
prompt (if my memory doesn't betray me - my Windows days are long gone).
Your
steps to start tomcat seem be correct but paths and names in the

description

of environment variables are a mess (JAVA_HOME should have the "_",
"SystemRoot" instead of "stemRoot", C: must be followed by a "\" in paths,
there is a "-" instead of a space between "jakarta-tomcat" and "4.1.12" in
the standard distribution, at least on Linux). I attribute this chaos to
fast
typing but I'd double check if I were you. My Windows experience taught me
to
avoid spaces in paths also.
HTH,
Paul
