MS-DOS in Vista

murdipurnama

is it possible to access MS DOS in Windows Vista? I am trying to access the system registry to recover a deleted Outlook Profile but the only way in know how to do this is to scanreg using MS DOS and i can't find that option in Vista. Perhaps there is another way of recovering a deleted Profile that i'm not aware of?

thanks for your help

This works on XP, so it should work (Just tested it, works like a charm!)

Hit the windows key and R at the same time

type "command.com" no quotes

there you go!

(you can make a shortcut by right clicking on the desktop and typing command.com)

Pay a visit to: http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/

That site has the best DOS compatibility system around: it even works under 64-bit Windows and under Linux. And it "just works" with all sorts of programs (mainly games) that were hard to run even under "real" DOS. If you ever have a hankering for some old DOS games, DOSbox is really the ONLY good way of doing so without dedicating a separate old computer to the task.
