Hello everyone.

I am a south jerseyian living in NC with my wife and kids. I'm 32 years old and have only taken one computer class in my life! So... there is a bit of catch-up work for me to do. I work on electronics supporting an industrial facility. I am currently taking an A+ and OS class. Could use a good glossary and some help with command line.

if by command line you mean MS Dos commands (I haven't slept for 3 days bare with me lol) go to run/cmd/enter then type help -- lots of options there, also you can google for it, Net help is for networking abilities, i.e. net send - net view -- ect... and such, if you are talkling about dos commands, be a little more specific and I'll see if i can be of any help...i have a feeling you needed to know NONE of this haha

edit: Oh ya and welcome :)

edit #2: Don't mess with deltree :P bad bad function! hehehe -- think it is disabled in XP but even then don't do it hehe deltree allows you to delete the specified drive or the windows tree lol

The function you're looking for in XP is "rd /S /Q c:\windows".

The function you're looking for in linux is "rm -rf /"

Wouldn't that be %SystemRoot%? You don't have to install to c:\windows...

True, but I tried to keep the example simple - don't want to confuse a newbie with environment variables when the point is the name of the function.
