You'll want to research Sys.Exec, and look up the help for CMD.EXE. A hint: C:\> cmd /? Specifically, look at the /K option. ----------------------------------- eNc Fri Nov 05, 2004 8:16 am Re: Turing --> CMD ----------------------------------- Is there a way to make turing execute cmd commands ?

That's the turing reference. ----------------------------------- wtd Fri Nov 05, 2004 2:11 pm ----------------------------------- An API is an interface you can use without knowing exactly how the underlying code works exactly. Consider things like: View.Set ("graphics:640;480") Do you know how that works? But you do know what it does, right? Exactly. That's an API at work. ----------------------------------- Flashkicks Fri Nov 12, 2004 10:50 am ----------------------------------- haha- I use tp play with those commands all the sitnkin time- using it to open my Winows Media Player and wutnot. Its a cool thing to use but unfortunately it cant get you access into the C drive at school :(..

All links to the command prompt are removed from direct access by students, and so are icons for the C:\ drive. Not to mention that it's completely innaccesible through Explorer, period. But I can use turing to load up a command prompt (If you know the exact location of 'cmd.exe') , and the prompt is able to access the C:\ and A:\ drives. :Silenced: ----------------------------------- Hikaru79 Fri Nov 12, 2004 5:45 pm ----------------------------------- At school today, I managed to get "Command Prompt.lnk" onto my desktop using a VB program our comp sci teacher wrote. But when I ran it, I got a message to the effect of "Command Prompt has been disabled on this account by the Systems Administrator"... darn =( So close, yet so far.... ----------------------------------- Andy Fri Nov 12, 2004 5:48 pm ----------------------------------- u can run cmd using c++.. my friend did it last year... i forgot the code tho ----------------------------------- Hikaru79 Fri Nov 12, 2004 5:55 pm ----------------------------------- u can run cmd using c++.. my friend did it last year... i forgot the code tho Aw, darn :( That would've come in handy this afternoon. We needed to format a stupid floppy but seeing as Right-click is disabled, command prompt was the only way we could've done it =/
