can someone tell me exactly what to type please?
i thought it was
move c:\docume~1\admini~1\desktop\filename.exe C:\windows\system32
what is the right thing to type?

before i go and try to find if thats wrong cuz i thought it was 'move' too...

but why are you trying to use dos instead of just windows? and on what operating system you using? Because unless you installed dos yourself. Win 2k and XP dont have dos. they have a simulated dos which still runs under windows, so if your tryin to move a file that way because windows wont let you. You 'MIGHT' not have any luck doing it that way either.

Actually I've tried moving files using DOS on XP before when Windows wouldn't let me and it has worked. Although I forget the commands.

i was looking for activation crack and i replaced a file in system32 with a crappy one... i deleted the crappy one and the origional is on the admins desktop.
i cant get into windows it just stalls a black screen just before the logon screen
so i need to move the origional back into system32 then i think itll work

I can solve your problem: don't edit files where you shouldn't.

I know what crack you were trying to use. It said to boot into Safe Mode and change a system file right?
