Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - Should I fix or re-install XP?

I had no idea how to slave one computer to another, nor do I have a USB memory stick. I didn't have much data on the computer that I didn't have backed up, so I think, in my case, it was the best decision. The last straw was when I tried to open the CD drawer and it wouldn't open when not in safe mode. One thing I was curious about though was how to delete files at the C prompt. When I was at C:\Documents and Settings\MYNAME I just deleted files by typing del "Local Settings\Application Data\wejudem.exe" as I recall but it didn't work at the WINDOWS/SYSTEM 32 C prompt. Was I missing something or do I remember the delete command wrong?
