DOCUMENT:Q104430 17-SEP-1993 [W_NT]
TITLE :Cannot Use Backslash to Change Drives
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
The Windows NT Command Prompt (CMD.EXE) does not allow you to use a
backslash key (\) to change drives. If you type D:\ at the command
prompt to change to the D drive, the following message appears:
The name specified is not recognized as an internal or external
command, operable program or batch file.
In MS-DOS versions 5.0 and 6.0, you can change drives in this manner.
RESOLUTION
==========
Simply do not use the backslash key. Type D: instead of D:\.
