How can I run CMD command?

How do I run a command when opening cmd.exe with shortcut?

  • I'd like to change the encoding of the command prompt when being opened rather than typing the command at the start of my session each time. Below is the command I enter each time the command prompt starts now: chcp 1252 How can I have this command run automatically when opening with the shortcut?

  • Answer:

    In the target box of your shortcut, use cmd /K "chcp 1252" This should run your program and leave the cmd window up when complete

Per the http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/cmd.mspx?mfr=true, The registry keys: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\AutoRun\REG_SZ HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\AutoRun REG_EXPAND_SZ should do what you want.
