C: Prompt Icon under programme disappear

Hi,

What model and series computer?

What operating system Pro or Home and to what service pack?

Have you carried out full AV & Spyware scans?

Any new hardware or software?

Double click My Computer> Double click Local Disk (C)>Double click Windows folder> Double click System 32 folder> search for "CMD" file, right click, select create shortcut, move the shortcut to the programs list on start menu.

sbaldev,

Locate Command Prompt (should be in C:\Documents and Settings\ One account\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories. When you find it, right-click it and select Properties. On the dialog that opens click the "Change icon" button. Click the Browse button and browse for the icon file in C:\Windows\System32\Cmd.exe.

Thanks Denny

You could also add open command prompt to the folder context menu (the menu you get when you right click on any folder in Windows Explorer or My computer):

line 26 left column

that is handy if you want to open the command prompt in a given folder rather than C:\ (saves having to use cd command to navigate to a particular folder)
