| Summary |
One of the slightly annoying things about Windows XP and other newer
versions of Windows, is that it is not easy to start a program with
commandline arguments - you either end up creating .bat files, shortcuts,
or using a DOS shell. This doesnt seem right, so I have created a simple application which adds an option "Open with commandline" onto the right-click menu of .exe files. When you choose this option it opens a dialog allowing you to enter the commandline. Simple, eh?
|
| Download and Installation |
Unzip these files into a directory (eg c:\Program Files\CommandLine\), and then run CommandLine.exe - the first time you run it, it will offer to install in the right-click menu. If you dont do this, you can do this at any time from the system-menu within Commandline (you will also find an Uninstall option there too). Alternatively you could create a shortcut on your desktop and drag exe files onto the shortcut to launch them.
|
| General |
 The dialog is pretty self explanitary, I would hope - simply enter the commandline you want, and press "run". If you changed your mind, click Cancel.

| Future enhancement |
I am wondering if its worth maintaining a list of the last entered
command lines. Should this be per-app? (In which case, how many last
apps should it remember?). Also, would anyone have a use for an option "Create shortcut with commandline" which allowed you to create a shortcut to CommandLine with the selected EXE as a parameter, so doubleclicking the shortcut opened up the dialog? This would just save having to right click, but potentially useful... Any other ideas for useful additions, send em my way.
