Well, what kinda file are you looking to open up? I think I see where you are going, but I can't see the reason to open a file IN the command window. Am I missing something?

The 'call' command is used to access/open a file from within a batch file...you can use it to open another batch file, or open a file. But, if you were to call an xls (Excel) file, it won't open in the command window it will open in the default program...Excel in this case.

no you see,there is this .exe file that only can be run in cmd.

i donr want that everytime open the cmd and then type the file path and then run it,so thought maybe i can make a batch file that run the file in cmd for me(ex:run the cmd first and then run the file in it).
