- Summary:
-
- To make the title bar caption of the Windows NT command prompt display
- the current directory path, do the following:
-
- 1. Create a file somewhere in your Windows NT path that contains the
- following line:
-
- @title %=c:%
-
- The name of this file should have a .CMD extension.
-
- 2. Run Doskey with the following parameters:
-
- doskey cd=cd $*$T<name of the file you just created>
-
- Whenever you subsequently use the CD command to change directories,
- the current directory will be displayed in the title bar of the
- command prompt.
-
- Note: If you use the CD command without a space, Doskey cannot trap
- the command and change the title bar. For example, if you use the
- following command, the title bar will not display the current
- directory path:
-
- cd\
