Windows 10: CMD CD command not working. Why?

I typed cd e: at command prompt and am still stuck at C:\Windows\system32>. Why?!

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.14393]

C:\Windows\system32>cd e:
E:\

C:\Windows\system32>

:)

 

Windows defender updates

Tried copy and paste in the RUN prompt- did not work.

Opened a Admin CMD window and manually typed in command after CD to correct subdirectory.

It worked using just Mpcmdrun.exe –signatureupdate –mmpc .

Thanks.

 

CMD Command

I don't think you said anything wrong and certainly no need to apologise.

in order to use the net user command you must be logged in as a user with administrative permissions.

I don't think you can use it to delete the user you are logged in as (it is certainly not a good idea)

so assuming you are logged in as Arabi Enertech K.S.C (administrator) and wish to affect changes to Helloworld

net user helloworld /delete - will delete the user Helloworld

net user helloworld /Times: M-F, 8am-7pm, Sa, 8am-9pm restricts the time that Helloworld can log onto the machine to 08:00 - 19:00 Monday to Friday and 08:00 to 21:00 on Saturday

note the days must either be abbreviated as follows MTWThFSaSu or written out in full, times can either be 12hr (am/pm) or 24hr.

if you use the times switch without specifying a time range then the user will not be able to log on at all.

net user helloworld /Times: All will allow the user to log on anytime

net user helloworld /active:no will make the account inactive, it will not appear on the log on screen. a better example would be the built in administrator account which by default is inactive in order to use the built in administrator account
you need to make it active - Net user Administrator /active:yes and when you have finished with it, turn it off again -
net user Administrator /active:no

you can join the commands so if you wanted to create a new user (newworld) that can use the computer only on Mondays between 9am and 5pm and set an initial password of abcdef that they must change when they first log on

net user newworld abcdef /add /logonpasswordchg: yes /times: Monday, 09:00-17:00

you are not likely to need the /domain switch in a home environment, it makes the changes on the domain controller, adding the /domain to the above example will create newworld user on the domain rather than the current machine

I hope that helps a little

 

Because to change to the E: drive all you need enter is e:.

 

e: for drive letter cd\test is change directory

 

You can change directory (CD) without leaving the drive you are on. You can switch to the other drive, as has been said, just by typing its letter - like this...
C:\WINDOWS\system32>cd d:
D:\

C:\WINDOWS\system32>cd d:\videos

C:\WINDOWS\system32>d:d:\Videos>c:C:\Windows\System32>
