Batch file wich runs a .class file inside a path

Question

I would like to make a batch file that:

1. Opens cmd.exe
2. Within that Command Prompt runs cd C:\mywork\ then runs set path=%path%;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_05\bin and at the final runs java MCExploit wich runs a .class file, but the final command shows some text like omg|omg so I need to be able to read that text.
3. Leaves the window open so that I can run additional commands if I wish to

How can I do this?

Answer 1

1. Create a batch file with all your commands, for example:

   set path=%path%;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_05\bin
   cd C:\mywork\
   java MCExploit
   

2. Create a shortcut to Windows\System32\cmd.exe and in the shortcut's Properties, ensure the Target field looks similar to the following:

   C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /k C:\MyCmds.bat
   

3. Done! Double-clicking the shortcut will open a Command Prompt window, execute your batch file and then return back to the prompt and await further orders from you.
