There is no MS-DOS in WinXP. In order to use MS-DOS, you need to install MS-DOS from its installer or boot your system from a MS-DOS boot disk first.

For more information about the NT System Console ("Command Prompt") in WinNT/2K/XP, you may read this page:

If you mean to hide a folder in *NT System Console* (Command Prompt), you may try add a hidden attribute to the folder (directory) like this:

ATTRIB +H <folder name>

Simply RIGHT CLICK on the folder in question, select PROPERTIES, and then check the box marked HIDDEN
This will cause the folder to be exactly that, Hidden...:o)

Safe Computing..:o)
