In WinXP Pro, How can I Get IPCONFIG ALL to stay on the screen long enough to read it?

When I run IPCONFIG ALL (using Start|Run) in WinXP Pro, it displays the IP
information in a split second, then it disappears from the screen before
anyone could hope to read it. How can I get it to stay on the screen?

I once had that utility setup on a shortcut on my desktop, but it's gone
now. How can I set that up again?

I shall greatly appreciate your help on this.

What you want to do is click start, run and then type cmd. A command prompt
will then pop up and you can type ipconfig /all. When you are done with the
command prompt you can type exit.

Use "cmd /k ipconfig /all" to keep it on the screen, or
just open a command prompt with "cmd" and
enter "ipconfig /all" in that window.

or to do it all in one fell swoop, start, run, 'cmd /k ipconfig /all'
(no quotes, but all that goes in the run box).
