Command prompt to remove a file

In the Windows Home edition. I want to delete a file at the command prompt.

The command prompt lists already \doc and settings\user\desktop\.

Just type the name of the file after that desktop\ and press enter?

The annoying file doesn't have a text or doc ending.

Thank you very much

The command is led.  Type del /? for an explanation of the options.

I guess what you mean by the second line in your post, it's that you see something like the following:

C:\Documents and Settings\nom_utilisateur\Bureau >

If that's what you see AND if the troublesome file is on your desktop, then just enter

del troublesomefilename {press Enter}

If the troublesome file is NOT on your desktop, then you will need to specify its location for the delete command.  If the path to the file includes spaces, put the path in double quotes. For example:

C:\Documents and Settings\nom_utilisateur\Bureau > del "c:\Documents and utilisateur\Mes Documents\My stuff\troublesomefilename Settings\nom special" {press Enter}

    My Windows DVD Maker seems to hang after I click the button 'Next', so I looked in my event viewer for more details. I met that a failed module named 'iac25_32.ax' is the source of my problem. To remove it, I went to my command prompt (cmd.exe) and enter the following text: "regsvr32 /u iac25_32.ax' to try and unregister the codec file.

    Here is where my problem occurs: Once I hit enter, I get an error code reading - 0x8000ffff. Why won't my order process?

    Characteristics of code error : "iac25_32.ax" module was loaded but the call to DllUnregisterServer failed with error 0x8000ffff

    How can I solve this error 0x8000ffff code?

    Note that attempting to unregister a DLL that is not registered currently produces a similar to the following error dialog box, regardless of the version of Visual J ++ was used to create the DLL:

    "iac25_32.ax" is a DVD MPEG-4 filter, as it is not a .dll file or not an .ocx file, perhaps it can be saved or unsaved in all cases, but other seem to suggest so it could be possible?

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy

  • Can someone tell me what I should type in the screen command prompt to access the setupapi log so I can delete the files that stops me reinstall windows xp?

    My dell PC crashed then I followed the news online & tried to reinstall windows XP from my original CD. However, the keyboard & mouse stop working when the installation gets to the 33 minute section which requires me to a box on the screen. I saw tips online who says lets you check the setupapi log & delete the file question (s) that prevents the installation but it required that use you SHIFT & F10 to enter the command prompt screen, but my keyboard is isolated at this time. So I went in the recovery console (I think it's the command prompt)?  but I don't know which of the listed commands to use to perform the advice. I would be very grateful for help.

    Thank you

    Repair installs being problematic, I would not waste any more time at this stage. You are ready to perform a clean installation?

  • system files and command prompt does not work

    For the last two weeks, I'm having a nightmare. I disabled system restore and when I turned it on again every thing had stoped working (microsoft word and works procedssor), the user account micxrosoft help and support).

    I tried using command prompt, but it does not work properly. When I typed in the shadow of the list he has the right to copy, my name and disturbing without clichés present in this system.  When I go to system restore I just get ablank screen white. If I go into system the control panel says that my C drive is followed.

    I don't know what else to do Windows XP came with the perchase of my little computer. I only am not computer savvy very please check all instructions fool proof. Please HELP, as all I want for Christmas is saystem restoration. Thank you very much

    Please provide additional information on your system:
    What is your system brand and model?
    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?
    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..
    The afflicted system has a CD/DVD drive work?
    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?
    It seems that your system has or has had a malware infection.
    What is the issue that you are experiencing that you think that the system restore will be remedied (or you are just convenient)?  System Restore is not a time machine...
    You should be able to get your system restore calendar works again quite easily, but who will not only relieve your system of malware.
    Don't forget to fix the problem and the difficulty not only the symptom of the problem.
    If you disabled the system restore and he turned his back, which removes all points existing restoration (this is how it is supposed to work).
    I run a few scans of such malicious software indicated below, then work on all the remaining issues.
    Sometimes malicious will afflict your system restore to prevent you to find and remove malware.  It would much rather you trick into thinking that you need to repair or reinstall your XP when it is not necessary.  System Restore is sometimes so afflicted, you need to reinstall the system restore (you don't have to reinstall XP - just reinstall the system restore).
    No matter what you use for protection against malware, I do so and then only begin to solve any problems:
    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs can solve any problems:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    It can be uninstalled later if you wish.
    Restart your system and resolve outstanding issues.
    If your system restore calendar is always to show just a blank white screen, do the following:
    The scans using own it may also be necessary to re-register some dll (or you can do this part first, but you still have to do the scans).
    Re-record the dll is correct, even if they do not need re-registration.  You can also re-register the dll before the scans that can solve the problem, but the scans are always recommended.
    Click Start, run, and in the box enter orders following one at a time.  Click the OK button to execute each command one at a time:
    regsvr32 jscript
    regsvr32 vbscript
    regsvr32 /i mshtml
    The last order for mshtml load the DLL but can also contain a harmless warning depending on your environment.
    Check your system restore calendar now.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.
