Am I right?

1) cannot delete any directory on the root, only files
2) cannot browse any directory on the root
3) cannot format removable media (A:\)
4) cannot copy anything from C:\ to e.g. A:\ (access denied)

And how to:
- create/edit file (I have tried "copy con file.txt") but this hasn't worked

Thanks Ondra.
 
1-4 = correct

You are basically limited to the %windir% directory. You can copy from
floppy to harddrive but not harddrive to floppy.

This article should help you a little more in terms of what can and cannot
be done:
