†DOS commands can be entered in lowercase or uppercase.

††A switch modifies the way DOS carries out a command. Generally, a switch consists of a forward slash (/) followed by one or more letters or numbers.

§An asterisk (*) used in the examples denotes a wildcard. The asterisk matches any character in that position and all the positions that follow. The asterisk can be used to manage (for example, copy or delete) a group of configuration files without the need to manage each configuration file individually.

NOTE: The root directory does not have a name. It is simply referred to as a backslash (\). Entering the CD\ command from any directory always returns you to the root directory, which is denoted by the command prompt C:\>.
