DDG_daily_1583_a.exe is not in the c:\Documents And Settings directory.

I have no idea what directory it is in, so I can't tell you exactly how to accomplish your goal. Let's say it is in c:\newbie\to\dos\

type this after you get the "little black box":

cd\newbie\to\dos
del DDG_daily_1583_a.exe


if you do not know which directory it is in, find it this way:

cd\
dir/w/a/s/p DDG_daily_1583_a.exe

(the switches tell it to list the returned files in wide format, which makes it easier to see which file is in which folder, to list ALL files, even hidden ones, to search through every subdirectory beyond your current directory (which is the root directory since you first said cd\) and to pause at each page.)

This will return every file on that hard drive that is named DDG_daily_1583_a.exe

then look at the "directory of" line. If the line, for example, says "Directory of c:\total\dos\newbie" then type:

cd\total\dos\newbie
del DDG_daily_1583_a.exe

(edit) man, I miss dos. Anyone else pissed that they got rid of nice shortcuts in win2k? You can't type "dir .exe" anymore - you HAVE to type "dir *.exe" Sucks.
