EXE
command interpreter in no way
match what you used in the past. Microsoft does make some command line switches available for
compatibility purposes. For example, the
/X
command line switch is the same as
/E:ON
,
/Y
is the
same as
/E:OFF
, and
/R
is the same as
/C
. The command interpreter ignores all other old switches;
you need to use the command line switches described in this section instead.
You might also remember a few convenience features from the days of DOS that no longer
appear as part of Windows. For example, at one time you could create a setup menu by using the
[MENU]
entry in
Config.SYS
. The
Config.NT
file doesn??™t support this setup. The only alternative is
STARTING THE COMMAND INTERPRETER
101
to create multiple
Config.NT
files and assign them to applications as needed. In short, even though
the command interpreter does many of the same things that the DOS version does, this command
interpreter is different and you need to proceed with caution about any assumptions you want to
make. This application uses the following syntax:
CMD [{/A | /U}] [/Q] [/D] [/E:{ON | OFF}] [/F:{ON | OFF}] [/V:{ON |
OFF}] [[/S] [{/C | /K}] string] [/T:FG]
The following list describes each of the command line arguments.
