Go to your Windows SXS folder (usually C:\Windows\winsxs) and type CMD in the search box in the top right. When it's done searching scroll down until you find two CMD.exe files. If you have Windows 7 32bit copy the 295KB version to Windows\System32, if you have Windows 7 64bit copy the 337KB version to Windows\System32.
