The entertaining game of the 845 differences Al "dark side" of Windoze ", which is how I like to call the black window of the family:
Windows console, also known as shell
, Prompt or MS-DOS window
.
are many names but only one call. And before anyone throw stones me for any of these names, let me argue that I alone am responsible of the first, the others put
the
you call You call the little thing, the truth is that the console gives us access to a series of commands, facilities, utilities ... im-pres-cin-di-tions. I can promise and promise that this thing I use it to sack , more than anything to do several little things faster than the Explorer, or simply be able to do other stuff without having to settle other programilla unnecessary. Do you remember, for example, how useful it could become findstr command ? Well, I have many more examples, its I swear!
Peeeero (everything has a but) once you start to catch a taste of this console, and start using a bag, start to suffer the Faraway
Act, that the window MS-DOS always opens in a separate folder and distant from the one you want to go. Watch now! Think of a folder, go to Start / Run ..., type cmd (command in the old win9x), accepts y. .. That was not, eh? A not! Never succeeds: nun-ca. So if you wanted to work with folders or files, the first thing you touch is a painful journey to the destination folder: cd .. to the folder above, cd to the folder that, cd to the folder which ... Walker no way is the path to change. Ele my art!
course ... with such cd cd up and down, as you charge the fee in these, you will not be able to pay or pawning the Lesotho Promise. Do not worry, be happy! There are a couple of tricks that you can relieve the agony.
For the first one, you just need a few fingers (few) spread across both hands and with enough coordination between them as to do a "drag and drop (drag & drop, oh, yeah!) between windows. The idea is as follows. Can I change the starting folder to the destination folder in one step? Yes, writing cd carpetadestino , where "carpetadestino" is written to the destination folder with full path. This route can be quite long, which not win anything, so why can avoid typing the full path? Yes, drag the target folder from the Windows Explorer to MS-DOS window. E voila!
For the second need to be entered through the dark side of
cmd, not
command. It's auto-complete folder names with the tab key. If you have moved in a linux or similar, this will be familiar, but if you are windows to the very marrow will have to try it: type cd, space, the first letters of the folder you want to change, and press the key tab. Have you seen? Chuli, eh?
Now that really would have been good to avoid
Faraway effect forcing the MS-DOS window to be opened in the folder we would have liked. Because if you have to change folder, change, but change for change, is foolishness. Can this be? This can. For the window always open to a particular folder, simply change the shortcut to
prompt (right click, Properties ...), and you're done.
Now, really, what good would open the window in the folder
increasingly interested us. Can this be? This can. And we will see two solutions. 1. The way the Supreme Being (The freak Way)
Open the registry (Start / Run ... 'regedit') and under the key creates a new key called puertaladoscuro , or as I call it seems good. Use your own imagination to give a default value (Default): Open the side door
&
dark, or as you please. This is the text you see on the shortcut menu, so you better not put a simple
Open or givers.
Yes indeed, this is one way to change the browser a "Open file" for a "Delete File" transparent to the user: an inexhaustible source of friendly jokes that will give you endless laughs until a beggar find your lifeless body in a dark alley.
Lo & is to be thin: letrilla indicates the command, such that together with Alt
lets
keyboard shortcuts. Well, now creates, under the newly created key ( HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT / Folder / shell / puertaladoscuro ), another new key called command . This give as default (Default): cmd.exe / k cd% 1
or
C: \\ windows \\ command.com / K cd% 1
if you're in an old win9x. That is, using cmd whenever you can, or
failing command. You may need to put the full path for the system to find (C: \\ windows \\ command.com C: \\ windows \\ system \\ cmd.exe ,...). And the meaning of the arguments that you pass, and other options, I could see the self-help shell: the / K means that the interpreter execute the command that follows (in this case cd to the folder view) and be active later.
Once done, go to Windows Explorer. See that in the context menu that appears when you press the right button on a folder, is now the "Open Door
next scuro or", or whatever that you called. If you choose, it will open the MS-DOS that folder. 2. The path of the medium (Our Way) Let's do the same but without touching the registry directly, as if we were still human beings.
rare sites Without getting into, right from the Windows Explorer, we go to "Folder Options ...". This in XP should be in the "Tools" menu and win9x in the View menu. If you can not find it, ask the child's father where he has placed in your system. When you've found it, get on the tab "File Types" and select the type "Folder." Here you have to edit the type and, again, maybe you have to figure out how to do it on your system. In XP it is giving the button "Advanced" and then the New button. In win98 it was giving directly to the button "Edit ..." and then "New ...". are now editing the new action. In Action write the name in which you want to share ( Open Door & dark side
). In
Application used to perform action before
writes (
C: \\ Windows \\ system32 \\ cmd.exe / k cd% 1
, or similar). You can use the "Browse ..." to help you choose the program, including the route comfortably without mistakes. I remember the advice: in XP does not choose but
cmd command
.
The cmd.exe is a descendant of the command interface of Windows NT, while the command.com is a 16-bit application that stays there for compatibility reasons. Commands entered in command.com are passed to the cmd.exe to be the one who runs. (If you do not believe me, run command.com command and look in the task manager, you will see how, in fact, is who the running cmd.exe.)
Well, done, as before, you can go Windows Explorer and enjoy your new door to the dark side on the shortcut menu that takes you directly where you want.
