Little mixed up... I don't know how Windows finds stuff when it doesn't know where to look. (I know how DOS does.) I suggested looking in your registry to see if Windows already knows where to look for your file. On my system, Windows can find stuff on my DOS path, and cannot find stuff not on my DOS path, when I enter a 'plain' filename in the Run command box. I'm assuming Windows checks the DOS path, which is consistent with the evidence, but I'm not sure about this. Hope this is clearer. Cheers, PW.

mr. mark, you have been kind enough to answer some questions I had in the past for which I'm thankful. My friend has the following problem: He is running Win95 and while in DOS mode inadvertantly deleted all his files in the C:\WIN directory with the infamous "del ." command. He had to reboot once and he successfully rebooted but could only come up in DOS mode. He needs to recover the delted files. He can only run in DOS mode. He does not have an emergency boot disk. Is there a recovery program which will do the trick? Will my Win 95 upgrade disks be able to help him?
