Create shortcut which launches a command prompt and go to my install directory

[vvurakar]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a shortcut which has to launch a command prompt and "cd" (go) to my install directory?

I was able to launch the command prompt by giving cmd.exe at the Target of the shortcut as follows

Target:: [SystemFolder]cmd.exe

But I want to know the arguments that should be given to this target to "cd" to my installation directory

Can someone help me with my problem!!!

You might type cmd /? at a command prompt for ideas; the /C and /K switches to cmd.exe let you pass in a command to run...

vvurakar,

cmd.exe /K "cd /d [InstallDir]".

This will leave the command prompt open and change to the proper location. Using /d in the cd command tells the OS to follow the folder.

Cheers,

ME

May be you can test the "Working Directory" setting of the shortcut
By this way, you will not need to do "cd folder"
