Really stupid question

[nanop]

Hi,

When I start up CMD or DOS on my Pc, it would display something like this:
C:\Documents and Settings\.....(confidential)>

I want to know how u clear up all that stuff and make it just display
C>

I used to know a command to do this when I was installing Java, but I forgot it.

Thanks very much for your help!

type:
  CD\

that will take you back to the prompt. (Root directory)

...then type CLS to get rid of all the other garbage. (Clear Screen)

cls is infact clear screen.
there is a file also in your PC where u can specify where u want to be (ur default directory) when u switch to dos.
our  frnd has set it to c:\documents\something\something.
u can set it to C:\

or the other method is just described to u....

Hello prateeksikka
       
          The file you are talking about is the COMMAND.com. Thats were you can set you path in dos.
