DOS Shortcuts in NT
Keywords: PIF NT shortcut LNK
Question:
How do I create a PIF file in NT?Answer:
To make your shortcut in NT, and make sure it opens in a regular window (rather than full screen):- Right click on CMD.EXE.
- Choose "Create a Shortcut..."
- Right click on the newly created shortcut and choose Properties.
- Under Shortcut tab, make sure it's set to Run as a normal window.
- Under Options tab, make sure it's set to run as a Window rather than Full Screen.
- The name of the new shortfile (which you can see in the DOS console - you will not
be able to see it in Explorer) is "CMD.EXE.LNK".
- To run the LNK file:
Run ("C:\PATHTO\CMD.EXE.LNK", "")
