I have a wrong directory in Command Prompt.

It is supposed to say:
C:\Windows\System32 or something, but Now it has this:

C:\Users\Administrator>

I cannot do scf /scannow anymore because it comes up with this:

'scf' is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.



Help would be appreciated

I'd like to ask why there is 'cd...' I do not have a CD. Also there are many folders in 'windows/system32.

I have tried doing cd... cd... cd windows/system32 but it still comes up with :
It is not recognised as blaa blaa blaa.

hmm....
you can't cd (change directory) to windows\system32 ?
You're running cmd as Administrator right? Not just you being the PC admin guy, but Right click and 'Run as Adminstrtor'...
