Petr Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Does anybody know if there is any way how to have the same toolbar as it is in Windows 98 and Windows Me MS-DOS Prompt:in Windows XP too? I like it for quick copy and paste from/to DOS applications.PetrTitle Edited - Please follow new posting rules from now on.--Zxian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRosenfeld Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 To get it in the right click contect menu of any folder, at least in XP home, you need to edit the registry, add[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd]@="Open Command Window Here"[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\cmd\command]@="cmd.exe /k \"cd %L\"" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petr Posted January 9, 2006 Author Share Posted January 9, 2006 In windows xp, same options is in right click ...It seem it is not.If I open command line window by running CMD, then yes, there will be these options in right click menu. But cmd.exe is 32-bit application, it is not MS-DOS prompt.Simple 16-bit MS-DOS prompt can be opened just by running COMMAND. And there is no right-click menu. I need it for copying from/to 16-bit applications.Petr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 wow 16bits applications are still exist ? ^^I don't think it's possible to display a toolbar like win98 is windows 2k/xp ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLXX Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 The DOS emulator for the NT-series OSs don't have as many features as the 9x one. I don't think it's possible to do that.IMHO one of the most important features that got removed was the Close On Exit option - now you have to run programs from the prompt, otherwise they close before you can even see the output.
