I'm pretty sure that commands such as rd, del, dir, type, and other such things that are built into command.com/cmd.exe cannot be executed with the "Run" command - you actually have to launch a command prompt to execute them. Also, unless something changed with winnt systems that I wasn't previously aware of, rd can only remove a directory that is already empty. --Blu Aardvark

  • I have that command on the right-click context menu. However, I just checked, and windows-r doesn't seem to work. wtf? DELETE FUCKING EVERYTHING? yes please. KEKEKETalk to me Listen to me. 07:05, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

        • Oh, goody. It wouldn't delete non-empty directories in DOS 6, and presumably dos 7 (Windows 95/98), hence the inclusion of the "Deltree" command on those systems, but they must've changed the way it works in winnt. I'll keep that it mind, as I'm sure it will come in handy one of these days. --Blu Aardvark 07:37, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Guess what kids?

I wouldn't have guessed that!
