I want to delete a virus using the dos command, how do I type in the parameters so that the file is deleted? My temp folder is also full of what seems like over 1,000 virus files that have been downloaded to my cpu, please let me know how to enter in the proper cmds in dos to delete those files. I am using windows vista. Thanks for any help you may be able to provide.

Thanks for the great overview of DOS. I was told I needed to do an IPCONFIG on my computer, but didn’t know how. Thanks!

Thank you for the instructions. I had some corrupted Windows files and needed to run the System File Checker according to IT support. Hadn’t used any DOS commands before this. Thanks.

This is a great article, but it’s a little outdated now. Windows 7 includes an advanced DOS utility called PowerShell.

Is there any way you could write up an article on how to use PowerShell?

DOS is a very powerful tool in Windows indeed! I was recently told to go to my command prompt and type IPCONFIG to give our IT department some information.

Your article on DOS helped me very much understand how to use it! Thanks!
