That may be the black screen with your cursor blinking at the upper left corner. Try this syntax and you must type it correctly also: C:\Windows\folder name\name of your batch file.bat erase.

QuestionHow do I list all files in a certain dir of a certain type through DOS prompt?Rudy TothCommunity AnswerWow, seems lik you have an old computer. At the prompt, type the following: C:\>Dir *.* then press ENTER key. To clear the screen is to type in CLS that clears the screen listed items and then you type EXIT to leave the prompt. The asterisk being * and the dot and another asterisk * are wild cards to execute such commands. C:\>windows\*.* and when you press enter it should list all the Window files up on the screen and you use your down arrow on the keypad to see the below items by names. One more thing in order to your files to be in an alphabetical order from A to Z, then type C:\>Dir/W/O (you should write this all out).
