Program properties dialog box
NOTE: Not every application has a 'Program properties' dialog box. The 'Program properties' dialog box typically appears with MS-DOS programs.
The 'PROGRAM PROPERTIES' dialog box is displayed by right-clicking the program icon, selecting 'Properties' from the pop-up menu and clicking the 'Program' tab. Alternately, program properties may be changed from Windows Explorer. The purpose of the 'Program properties' dialog box is to control the program file association, working directory, icon, shortcut key, and operation mode.
The following are the individual settings on the 'Program properties' dialog box:
1) Program Title: The program title appears at the top of the Program properties dialog box. The MS-DOS icon appears to the left of an MS-DOS program. Any name may be chosen and this does not effect the program executable file.
2) Cmd line: The drive, folder, and executable filename (<drive>\<folder>\<filename>) runs WP.EXE from a folder called WP60 on the hard drive. Type any switches required to run the program. Refer to the program documentation for information on the switches for each program.
EXAMPLE: C:\WP60\WP.EXE /S
3) Working: The folder that becomes the current directory when Windows runs this program.
4) Batch file: (optional) The pathname of a batch file that invokes a batch file before the program runs.
5) Shortcut key: (optional) This feature defines a shortcut key that brings the program to the foreground when it is running. Type the letter in the box or press a function key. If the key is already being used, Windows automatically adds the 'Shift' key. If SHIFT+F6 has been defined as the Shortcut key for the MS-DOS prompt, press SHIFT+F6 to invoke the MS-DOS prompt.
6) Run: The type of window in which the program runs. The options are maximized, minimized, or normal.
7) Close on exit checkbox: Select this option to close the window automatically when the MS-DOS program has ended.
8) Change Icon...: Click 'Change Icon...' to select a different icon than the default for the program. Sample icons are displayed. Click 'Browse...' to locate any other icons on the drive.
9) Advanced...: Click 'Advanced...' to display the Advanced Program Settings sheet. The options on this sheet should be modified only by advanced users.
