Hello,
I have Windows XP Home (Service Pack 1) on this PC. I have set up on
my desktop a shortcut to COMMAND.COM
(D:\WINDOWS\system32\command.com).
The shortcut I have used is Ctrl + Alt + D. When I set up the
shortcut, then try pressing Ctrl+Alt+D, nothing happens. This behavior
was different under Windows NT 4.0 Workstation, where the same key
sequence would call the shortcut. I have noticed that if I already
have the COMMAND.COM window open (not necessarily active), then I
press Ctrl+Alt+D, it will bring focus to the MS-DOS Prompt. Is there
a way that a non-running instance of MS-DOS Prompt can be init'ed by a
shortcut keypress?
Thanks.
