   I lost my commmand line! =(
  This is going to be the dumbest question ever, but I can't help it.  I was cleaning off my desktop a week or so ago, and I accidentally got rid of the one and only icon that spawns a nice DOS window for me to compile my code in.Could someone please tell me how to create a new icon on the desktop?  I'm running Windows XP.Sorry for the trouble. =)   
  Start->Run"cmd.exe"I suppose you got rid of the shortcuts, the executable is located there: \Windows\System32\cmd.exe   ;  Start -> RunType in "cmd.exe".[edit:] Dang! To slow.   ;Quote:Original post by Servant of the LordStart -> RunType in "cmd.exe".[edit:] Dang! To slow.A whole minute too slow. Were you sleeping?   ;Quote:Original post by tstrimpQuote:Original post by Servant of the LordStart -> RunType in "cmd.exe".[edit:] Dang! To slow.A whole minute too slow. Were you sleeping?I was eating a sandwhich. : (I also stopped to verify whether I had the right command. (Turns out "command.exe" doesn't work and "command" or "cmd.exe" does.)   ;Quote:Original post by Servant of the LordI was eating a sandwhich. : (I also stopped to verify whether I had the right command. (Turns out "command.exe" doesn't work)Try "command.com".   ;  I just tried "command" and it works.   ;  Right-click desktop. Select New->Shortcut.Type 'cmd' (without ''), then click Next.Type a name for the shortcut, then click Finish.Alternative:Navigate to C:\Windows\System32 then drag cmd.exe to desktop while holding down Alt.;  You want cmd.exe.command.com is the old DOS shell kept around for compatibility purposes.  This assumes that even though you said "DOS window" you don't actually want to use DOS.  "Command Prompt" != "DOS window".If you are actually still using DOS...  Well then I have pity for your soul.   ;  In Linux, the command line loses you!(question of OP already answered above so I allowed myself this little diversion in this thread)
