| When I duoble click a .exe, as in my c++ exe that opens in Command Line(DOS), it opens, displays, and terminates. I went through the switches and its clearly not setable there. So can anyone help me, so I dont have to "cd c:\blanlavboal\sdfn\asda\asd\afa" every time i want to test my exe? | |||

| I think Windows has a pause command, so you can just use the statement system("pause"); in your program to call it. You can also write a batch script that outputs the results to a text file, e.g. myprogram.exe > output.txt |

It is better to manually open a command prompt and run the program from there than just double clicking on the executable's icon in explorer. Most command line programs require passing input arguments on the command line. So you REALLY need to get used to using the command prompt for such programs. Using system("pause"); will just add an unneeded [EG. annoying] delay for people who actually do use the command prompt properly. So do avoid it. |

| Oh yeah, simple solution to your problem. Copy the shortcut for the Command Prompt onto your desktop, go the the properties, and set the starting or working directory to the directory with your programs. Then it's right there when you start. | |||

| If you want to be able to open via double clickery, then just make a .bat file to run your program. | |||

Originally posted by Sonicandtails Unless you hard code something into your program, this is the behavior of command-line programs since Win95. If you don't want to CD your day to your folder, just make a short cut to the command prompt, using the the folder your want to start in as the working directory. |

| Or my preferred way: Right-click a directory and get a command prompt like that. You need to do something with the registry, but here's a file that should do it automatically: http://mike.warpedbelief.com/crap/cmdprmpt.reg |

 so, that's how they put stuff in the global right-click list... I've always wondered how they did that... |

| Yeah, but with that you have to go back to the parent directory and right-click it. It'd be much nicer if you could just right-click in the file list itself. Plus I tend to just keep one DOS box open all the time. |

| i don't have that enabled...takes up too much space in the explorer window. It's weird though since I did like the file manager for Win 3.1 | |||

So did I... I copied WINFILE.EXE from WinNT4 to my Win2k. I like it better  I'd upload it, but I'm not sure how strict the warez rules are. EDIT It's in Service Pack 6a. I think it's in CAB format, but 7-Zip can open it  (edit again: DO NOT downlod the express version, download the "network" one, the whole service pack)(edited by FreeDOS on 03-21-05 11:22 PM) (edited by FreeDOS on 03-21-05 11:22 PM) |
