What type of file is it?
type edit $filename or notepad $filename or $application $filename
so notepad test.txt would open the file test.txt - or winword test.doc would open a word document
It is Inevitable.....
i am trying to slipstream sp2 and create a bootable cd useing this http://www.helpwithwindows.com/Windo...sp2-bootcd.htm cant do " Next, open a Command Prompt (Start > Run > cmd), and go to the folder where you downloaded SP2 (cd \foldername). Type the command: servicepack filename /integrate:drive/path. In my example the command is WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU /integrate:\XP-CD." it wont work

when it says "C:\Document and Settings\General>" it means that your current folder is the General folder within you Docuemns and Settings folder. the first step in the instructions you linked to is to change your current directory to the folder where you downloaded the SP2. So, for example, if you downloaded SP to the folder \XP-SP2, you would need to typeYour screen should then say C:\XP-SP2. If you downloaded the service pack to a different drive, then you would also need to change to that drive. For example if you downloaded to the D: drive you would need to typeCode:cd \XP-SP2Then you can run the slipstreaming command. This requires that you have copied the entire contents of the CD to a folder on your hard drive. If you copied the CD in C:\XP-CD, then the slipstratming command would beCode:D: cd \XP-SP2The instructions in your link assume that you are working on your D: drive, which is why there is a D in their examples.Code:WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU /integrate:C:\XP-CD"
I find the following way is the EASIEST way to slipsteam the CD

Hope this helps
also, if you look on the intarweb, it warns not to do slipstreaming around folders with spaces in

you need to extract the boot image from your original CD with something like ISOBuster, or find a boot image on the net somewhere to use. I don't think boot floppy images work with Windows install CDs.
:edit: see WildMonkeys post for detailed instructions. ISOBuster here

The guide I was using said that. But I think the guide extracted the boot folder from the XP CD. I dont have one cause my CD is not bootable. Also i got the boot floppys but they wont work. How i hate floppys.

then you'll have to get your hands on a bootable XP CD, or find a boot image on the net somewhere.
or buy windows for real, rather than using a badly warezed version
