This add to the registry please backup registry before using. Save with vbs extension and click on the file. Type h command ie. h dir to display dir syntax.

Thats not a batch file, its a VBSript. If your trying to run the script, you have to change the file extension to .vbs. Then just double click the icon or from the command line, use the wscript <filename.vbs> or cscript <filename.vbs>. I have NOT lost my mind — I have it backed up on tape somewhere

Hi I know it's a VBScript file and I said change the extension at the beginning.

So what is your question? You want to know what it does? I have NOT lost my mind — I have it backed up on tape somewhere

Hi No it's a VBScript to help other people learn the MsdDos commands, maybe I did'nt explain very well. If you save it with a vbs extension and double click on it, it allows you to type "h MsDosCommand" at the command prompt to display the MsDos commands using Windows Help program. ie "h dir", "h attrib" ect. or "h ntcmds" for a full list of commands. I thought other people might find it usefull.
