Default Make multiple cmd windows default to same location?

I just noticed. My system no longer prompt me that dialog. ?(o.O)?

Well, no matter. I could simply change the setting back if I need to, or
delete the unused saved window titles in the registry directly.


It's working perfectly for me but I agree you can just change the settings
back if you don't like them.

Thank you for this help since my use model is currently:

a. Manually download a set of ovpn files from vpngate.net
b. Doubleclick on the first one which opens up a cmd window
c. If it fails, doubleclick on the next one
d. If that fails, continue until one of the ovpn files works

Once I get one that works, I just move that one window off to the side, and
I can easily click through the ones that failed, which are all now stacked
exactly on top of each other (so hitting [x] kills them quickly).

This method isn't necessary usually if I just downloaded the ovpn config
files within the last hour; but I save the ovpn config files for weeks, so,
when I go to a directory filled with a hundred of those old ovpn files,
only about 1 in 10 still works.

That's why this method of stacking command windows is efficient!
Thank you for solving the problem of stacking command windows!

By the way, the other thread about wget is to solve that problem of it
being a pain to download the ovpn files manually.

I save the ovpn files for months because it's a pain to download new ones.

If we could get the wget to work, then it wouldn't be a pain to download
new ones.

So the two problems are related, but they're on opposite ends of the
problem set.
