Changing the caption of a DOS box to the name of the current folder - a problem
Hello all,
A few weeks ago I got a bit fed up with having several minimized command-prompt windows on my taskbar, and all displaying the same "command prompt" caption text. So, I googled for a solution (duh). What I found is the program "title", with which the "idle" caption of the window can be set. As I start a batch file to open such a command prompt (which gets the path to the folder in %1) I just added the line "title %~n1" to set the caption to the name of the current folder. The problem ofcourse is that when I execute a "cd" the caption doesn't change to match the new folder. :-( Does anyone know if the "title" program (or another /that comes with the OS/) can be told to track the current folders name ? Regards, Rudy Wieser Remark: If no program exists I will probably try to make one myself: I don't think that the result will be pretty though (polling & updating command-prompt windows every 100...1000 ms or so. yuck) |
