Console automation: 2
Also -- while you're at it with my previous question -- how do we embed
the console window at the bottom of the right-hand panel of Windows Explorer? Wouldn't it be great if we had an Explorer button which, when clicked, the console pane would open at the bottom of the right-hand pane, and the command prompt would have navigated to the folder we're in, so that we can just type commands and apply them automatically only on the files in that folder? (I'm sure there's a way of doing it using the hidden HTT file that defines the look of the Explorer window. It would also be great if we could use TrueType fonts -- such as Courier New -- and other style customizations to give it an HTML look for increased legibility. Sorry, Lucid Console with black on white is murder on my eyes.) Many thanks! -- |

There are several utilities that do this. There are two different Microsoft Power Toys, and a couple of third party utilities for it. They add a right-click "Command Prompt Here" selection to directory entries in an Explorer panel. Click the entry, and you're in a console window, in the specified directory.

Sorry, Lucid Console with black on white is murder on my eyes.) I don't believe you can use True Type fonts in a console window. You are limited to fixed width raster fonts. I happen to like Lucida Console. You can customize the font and colors. Open a console window. Right click on the window icon on the top left of the title bar. Select Properties. Set desired font and size, and window size and scroll buffer, and color combination. Click OK, and check "Modify the shortcut that started this window." That should change the underlying PIF file that controls such things, and give you a console set as you desire in future sessions. Many thanks! ______ Dennis |
