how can i get a RUN command to execute with a right mouse click, instead of having to type it in the RUN box?
or is there a way to copy and paste it into the command prompt?

very funny. i notice you don't make as many typos when you keep your replies short. :p

i use the text i would type in the RUN box and change it from .txt to .bat with these modifications:
@echo off - the path to the program - the command - the recipient of the command - exit. i right click the mouse and choose OPEN and it executes.

to polish it up i would like not to see the command prompt window appear and close. or is there something else i can try(without 3rd party utilities)....

there is a program that will change a .bat to an .exe that i have yet to try. will post back.

update - i've managed to simplify things by adding a shortcut and modifying the original command in the target.

Have you tried creating a VB or WSH Script?

indigowindow,
TO copy and paste into a command prompt, copy. To paste use the paste icon at the top of the command Prompt window.
I use a utiity called bat2exec to compile batches
