Hi all.
Pretty new to this Dopus so I am in need of a bit of assistance.
I have a shortcut created to open a command prompt in its current folder.
See screenshot.
Dopus puts me in the windows\system32 folder by default.
How can I get it to use the "Start in:" section in the Command Prompt Properties?
Thanks
Tools > Command Prompt Here will open a command prompt in the current folder.
Does that do what you need? If not can you explain a bit more about what you're trying to do and why you want to use a shortcut to do it?
Yes, that is the method I have resort to using.
I have many folders with scripts that I deploy for various reasons.
I've created that cmd shortcut so that I can quickly open a cmd prompt, starting in that folder, and run what needs to be ran.
They don't have dopus and it's just a habit of me to open a cmd prompt using my shortcut.
I realize that this might be more of a feature request and am looking for a way to be able to use my shortcuts.
Thanks.
Paste this into a new text file:
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
folderPath = fso.GetParentFolderName(WScript.ScriptFullName)
shell.run """%windir%\system32\cmd.exe"" /K CD /D """ & folderPath & """", 1, False
Call the text file Command Prompt.vbs or similar. (Only the .vbs extension is important.)
You can then double-click that and it will open a command prompt in the directory the script is in, no matter what the current directory is.
That will work from both Explorer and Opus.
Thanks Leo.
I appreciate the time for this.
I did just discover that you can shift-rtclk and choose "Open command window here" in Win Explorer
or just rtclk in dopus for similar.
