Access a directory in DOS with a simple click.

Run menuFor some reason, you want to access a directory in DOS located at C:\My Documents\Private Files\DOS\Text Files
it would be difficult to write the path since you cannot use spaces in DOS and you're restricted to 8 chars.
e.g for accessing My Documents which is located in the root directory (c:\) you have to type:
c:\cd Mydocu~1
(~1 is an abbreviation for all the chars. after the u). What ??!!
You can use RUN in win95/98 to do the trick.
Go to the desired directory like you normally do:
double-click on My Documents
(on the desktop), same for
Private Files DOS and Text Files. Now you're in...

Click the Start button...RUN and type "command" (without the quotes), click OK or press ENTER

type command

Type command to access DOS

Dos window

By using command you can access any folder in Dos
without having to type strange and messy names !
