command prompt syntax

[Joe Bogan]

Having problems with wmp 10. Need to do this:

1. Open a CMD.EXE window.

2. Type the following commands, pressing Enter after each line:

CD /D %SystemDrive%for /f "Tokens=*" %x in ('dir /b /a /s Wmploc.dll') do copy "%x" %SystemRoot%\System32\*.*

3. Install Windows Media Player 10.

Can someone please write what exactly i have to type in the command prompt for step 2? (Please indicate lines)

Enter this (not changed much but it should work) <ENTER> is the enter key:
CD /D %SystemDrive% <ENTER>
for /f "Tokens=*" %x in ('dir /b /a /s Wmploc.dll') do copy "%x" %SystemRoot%\System32\*.* <ENTER>

Now, this looks like it's simply a process to copy a particular set or files out of system32 but be careful when running this. Where did you get this?
