For the longest time now, there have been a few files on my desktop that I haven’t been able to get rid of with the normal delete or send to Recycle Bin function. No matter how hard I tried, Windows 7 kept on saying “This file cannot be found. Please try again.” Or something to that effect. I tried everything from renaming, cutting and pasting, to downloading programs that various forums said would help, but all to no avail.
Then my brother had what I would like to call a stroke of sheer genius. “ Why not try using MS-DOS command prompt?”
This was how my desktop looked like. Take note of the two files encircled. They were actually broken files left from incomplete downloads in the past.
I opened up command prompt. It opens up in the directory C:\Users\Allie\>. If you’re trying this now, it will probably be C:\Users\your username\>. Here’s what you do next.
1. Type cd desktop to go to the Desktop subdirectory.
2. Type del *.* and you will be prompted with a message “Are you sure (Y/N)?”
Note: Type Y only if you want to remove ALL the contents of your desktop (excluding the Recycle Bin). If you only have a file or two to remove, replace “*.*” with ‘”filename.extension”.
After that, close Command Prompt and those stubborn files should be gone from your life forever!
Who knew that an entire semester of studying nothing else but MS-DOS prompt would actually pay off? Now if this whole architecture thing doesn’t work out, alam ko na ang iraraket ko!

OMIGOSH! I remember first year HS!!! I have no idea how to use MS-DOS now, ako pa naman highest sa first test (syempre, little facts like that, I remember). Now all I know are DIR and SET and EDIT!
Hahahaha! come to think of it, I think i vaguely remember you being highest as well! And i don’t even know what SET is for anymore!
Have you ever regarded as including more movies for your blog posts to maintain the readers additional entertained? I indicate I just read by means of the entire guide of yours and it was very very good but because I am a lot more of a visual learner,I found that to be much more useful. Just my my idea, Great luck
I don’t get what you mean really. :| But regarding the movie thing, this isn’t really that kind of blog, sorry! :)
