External command

A MS-DOS command that is not included in command.com. External commands are commonly external either because they require large requirements or are not commonly used commands. Below are examples of MS-DOS external commands currently listed in the Computer Hope database.

Many of the external commands are located in the Windows\system32 or Winnt\system32 directories. If you need to locate the external file in order to delete it, rename it or replace it, you can also find the file through MS-DOS. Additional information about finding a file in MS-DOS can be found on document CH000309.
