Question

I can make a customized command prompt shortcut on my desktop to start in a particular directory and have some specified dimensions etc.

Now i have a script that sets some environment variables for the prompt and want to run it as soon as this shortcut is clicked.

How do i tell cmd or powershell to run this script in the current shell window and then show the shell ?

Answer 1

For cmd change the shortcut target to

%COMSPEC% /k C:\PATH\TO\your.cmd

and set the environment variables in your.cmd:

@echo off

set FOO=23
set BAR=42
