How to get command prompt

In many public places like schools and libraries, the system administrators disable CMD.EXE but forget about the older version, COMMAND.COM. When trying to access CMD.EXE, if you are displayed with the following message:

then you know it is disabled for your user level.

To get a COMMAND.COM prompt up, open Notepad.exe and type in “command.com” without the quotes. Next, save it as a batch file via the “.bat” extention. So save it as “anything.bat” . Now once you double click this file, you should get a functional command prompt if it isn’t disabled.
