Realistically, in windows XP going to DOS to resolve file or folder rights and permission issues is unlikely to get you very far. As I recall, Windows XP no longer uses DOS as an underlying language. Thus when you call up the command Prompt window, or even boot to the C: prompt you are in fact running an emulation with much of the windoze software still affecting the DOS commands. Thus if there are file protection issues the DOS commands may not give you access.
