im trying to get to a file in 'program files' by using command prompt, but the first place it starts at is 'my documents' which is too far. anyone got a clue how i get to program files from here? or if there is any other command prompts that start higher up e.g. C drive?

the command prompt i found was by going to start, all accesories, accesories, command prompt, dont know if the helps at all

You can type the following:

cd\

cd "Program Files" or cd progr*

um

cd .. will take you one directory up in the hierarchy

or you could browse to the folder containing the file with explorer, copy the path from the address bar and paste it into a command prompt. don't forget to put "cd " in front though, and also, if the path has spaces in (like "program files") put the entire path in quotes eg

cd "c:\program files\randomApps\arbitrary folder"
