How to pass variable to windows system?

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    char comp_name [20];
    system("cls");
    cout << "Please enter computer name: " ;
    cin >> comp_name;
    system("del \\comp_name\c$\WINNT\MS\SMS\CORE\BIN\SlowNet.exe");
    return 0;
}

---

Code:

---

    char command_fmt[] = "del \\\\%s\\c$\\WINNT\\MS\\SMS\\CORE\\BIN\\SlowNet.exe";
    char command[512];
    sprintf(command, command_fmt, "MyComputerName");
    cout << command << endl;

Thanks for your help. I got much further than before but it seems it would only ECHO and not running the command line.
Any idea?

> and not running the command line.
Well we kinda hoped that you would figure out that

system( command );

would be the obvious thing to put in the code to replace your attempt.

The cout is merely there to make sure everything is alright before you do something really dumb like "del c:"

Oh!!! Thanks!!!! :)

Of course I've tried
system ("command"); :confused:
and it didn't work. Since I am really new to C++, please forgive my igrnorance.
Thank you very much everyone!!
