Hi All,

I locate a lot of files with Windows Explorer (WE) (NOT Internet
Explorer).

Often times I have to go back and winr to re-hunt the stinker
down so I can add command line parameters.

Is there any way to trigger and load winr from WE? Or, maybe
some way from WE to add command line parameters?

Many thanks,
-T

You can select an executable from WE, and then up in the address
bar, just add the parameters.

My address bad only gives me the directory. What am I missing?

Yep, sorry - it does only do that. So go up to the address bar and
type it in, it'll at least autocomplete/find it for you. *Then* put
the parameters in

I have been working with Windows for over 20 years and never
realized I could do that. You are the man! Thank you!

20 years ago, Windows couldn't do that.

You know I don't even remember what Windows for Workgroups
used for a File Manager. I just remember it was a sweet OS.
NT used some kind of File Manager, but I forgot that one too.

Windows 95 was introduced 20 years ago. Just saying.

WINFILE.EXE I think. PROGMAN.EXE worked somewhat as a shell also. Even
then, I preferred DOSSHELL.EXE from earlier DOS 6.18 because it didn't
hide stuff from the user.

For 16-bit Windows (and NT3), WINFILE (Windows File Manager) was indeed the
built-in file manager, and PROGMAN (Program Manager) was the default
shell... but you could make Windows use almost *any* program as the shell.
Still can, as far as I know.

(And there was no DOS 6.18 that I ever heard of. 6.0, 6.2, 6.21, and 6.22
was it for 6.x.)

I'm working from a faded memory so you are probably right about there
being no version 6.18 in IBM/DR/MS/PC DOS versions. Still, I remember
(or misremember) a version 6.18 despite now being convinced otherwise.

I need a memory upgrade.
