DOSPROMPT

/O

(no value)

Opens a DOS prompt with the current directory set to the folder displayed in the source file display. You can override the current directory by using the cd directive before the CLI command (requires using the advanced command editor).

Example: CLI DOSPROMPT

selfolder

Uses the first selected sub-folder in the source display as the CD for the DOS prompt.

Example: CLI DOSPROMPT=selfolder

admin

On Vista and above, opens the DOS prompt elevated (after a UAC prompt).

Example: CLI DOSPROMPT=admin

noadmin

Prevents the DOS prompt from being elevated.

Example: CLI DOSPROMPT=noadmin

powershell

Opens a PowerShell prompt rather than a DOS prompt.

Example: CLI DOSPROMPT=powershell,admin

The separate EXEC and TITLE arguments can be used to choose which version of PowerShell to run and set the window title.

powershellise

Opens a PowerShell ISE rather than a DOS prompt.

Example: CLI DOSPROMPT=powershellise

When launching a PowerShell ISE, any color parameters are ignored. This limitation affects the ISE only; DOS prompts and normal PowerShell windows can both have colors specified.

color=<color>

Sets the text and background colors of the DOS window. You can use this by itself, or in conjunction with the admin argument to override the default color when the prompt is elevated.

The <color> value is specified with two hexadecimal digits - the first corresponds to the background color, and the second to the foreground. The possible colors depend on your system's settings but are as below by default:

Supported color values

0 = Black	1 = Blue	2 = Green	3 = Aqua
4 = Red	5 = Purple	6 = Yellow	7 = White
8 = Gray	9 = Light Blue	A = Light Green	B = Light Aqua
C = Light Red	D = Light Purple	E = Light Yellow	F = Bright White

Note that you must enclose the entire value of the DOSPROMPT argument in quotes when using the color parameter (otherwise the embedded = sign will confuse the command parser).

Example:CLI DOSPROMPT="admin,color=97"

nocolor

Prevents the color of the DOS prompt from being set when elevated.

Example: CLI DOSPROMPT=admin,nocolor

wsl

Opens a WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) shell window. Note that WSL must be installed from the Windows Store.
 

Example: CLI DOSPROMPT=wsl
