This MIGHT be a simple question, but I honestly don't know w-t-do: Let's say I want to run (not copy), a floppy disk ("A"). I insert it, but-now... What is the command-line I should type to make it "open", or run??? Don't have any instruction book that says anything! Just the basics, most of which I already know! Thx to all who help.

You don't "run" a floppy disk, to use, copy, run, etc, the data that is ON the floppy disk. Therefore there must one or more files ON the floppy that you can "run" If, for example, there is some sort of text file or document, you can open that file with a program like word, wordpad, notepad, office, whatever. You would do this like you do ANY file---Use Widows Exlpoder to "explore" the floppy drive, and when you find the file you want, click on it, or right click and see if there is an optional "open with" Now, can you be more specific? What is supposed to be on this floppy? What have you done with it? (You can't just jam/stick/shove/place/insert a floppy into the drive, and expect it to "run" all by itself.) Last, in my opinion, "autorun" on a CD was the single most infuriating "feature" that was every applied to a computer by any software writer.

A disk is a disk (or a drive is a drive) Science is built up with facts, as a house is with stones. But a collection of facts is not more a science than a heap of stones is a home

name, "Last, in my opinion, "autorun" on a CD was the single most infuriating "feature" that was every applied to a computer by any software writer." I'll drink to that. If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

Oh yeah - one of the first things I'll disable on a Windows box (autoplay music is ok though) Science is built up with facts, as a house is with stones. But a collection of facts is not more a science than a heap of stones is a home

Double-Click on "My Computer" and then Double-click on "A:\". That will show you what's on the disk. Or, right-click Start Left Click Explore Scroll up to A:\ Or... Start Programs MS-DOS Prompt type a: type dir Hit Enter That will show you what's on A. Or am I completely missing the point of this question? Soylent Green is PEOPLE!!!
