Modify Title Bar for Custom Shortcuts
Posted by MrOutdoorsie on September 27th, 2005


Is there some way I can modify a shortcut I've created to display certian
text in the Title Bar? I've got several different shortcuts for Command
Windows for various servers I work with. If I have more than one open, I
have to view each to see which box it represents, and I often work with
several at once. Can I change something, maybe in the Target of the
shortcut, that would change the title of each so that I can distinguish them?

I use the following in a bat file:

start "commands" /I c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe

The title of the window shows up as "commands" -- whatever you put as the
first argument to start. Try "start /?" in a command window for its
options. Note that you can also feed arguments to the cmd.exe started by
the start command:

start "commands" /I c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /k
g:\alltools\apptools\dosparms.bat
