Line 36:
<br />
====If you're using Windows XP or an earlier version====
<pre>cd Documents and Settings</pre>
This will change you into the <code>Documents and Settings</code> subdirectory of the <code>C:\</code> directory.
<br />
<pre>dir</pre>
You should see the names of all the files and directories in <code>C:\Documents and Settings</code>.
<br />
<pre>cd ..</pre>
<code>..</code> means "parent directory", so this command moved you up to the parent directory. You were in <code>C:\Users</code>, so now you are in <code>C:\</code>, the root directory.
<br />
<pre>dir</pre>
This lists the contents of the root directory, confirming where you are.
====If you're using Vista or Windows 7====
<pre>cd Users</pre>
