How do you start command prompt using notepad?

Answer 1

I am not exactly sure what you are asking, but I will try:

if you have a notepad file that you want to run in command prompt, you need to save it as a (DOT)cmd extension instead of a (DOT)txt. the icon then should look like a blank dialog box with a gear i think.

You just simply type the same commnads you would in command prompt in notepad. You will want to separate each command line by pressing enter.

To simply call up the command prompt window using notepad, type in notepad:

command

then save as command.cmd

Also, with some commands you might want to insert a pause before going on to the next command. To do this just hit enter and type pause, then hit enter again and insert your next command. Here's an example:

Open up notepad and type:

command

pause

ipconfig

pause

then save as test.cmd on your desktop. Then exit notepad, click on the icon that says "test", and watch it work :)

Edit:

1. Open notepad

2. Type in "command.com" (without apostriophies)

3. Save as %type in a name of a file%.bat (ideally on Desktop)

4. You're done. Double click the new file you created

Answer 3

You can't. Notepad is strictly a text editor and has no ability to launch programs.
