Although the "Command Prompt here" shell extension often seems to make a short cut to a command prompt redundant, it can be quite useful to have one or even several at hand, especially since a shortcut can open a customized command prompt. I have several of those short cuts in my customized Quick Launch menu (see A better start menu with Quick Launch for how to create your own).

Thanks for posting this. I "googled" on "command prompt shortcut" and it was the first result-- exactly what i wanted-- and I thought this info was going to be hard to find!
Hi there,
I would like some html code that I could add to my website that would create a prompt 'save to desktop'. So that when a visiter opens the default page it would prompt them to save it to their desk top.
i have searched the net for hours trying to find something, hopefully you may know of something I could try.
thank You. gavin.
How I can change the icon?
I was able to change it using icon from different application, but when accessing shortcut's "properties" I do not see the "Layout" tab!!!???
Any suggestions?
@kosta - I just tried. If I click in the "Shortcut" tab on the "Change Icon..." button I can change the icon. Even if I select icons from another application or DLL I keep the Layout tab.
I have no idea why you don't see the Layout tab though.

Hi,
Works fine as described.
How does one get this to work from a .bat file?
