Windows 7 Help With Launching iipconfig /all Command From Desktop....

[Sithtiger]

Hi, I'm wondering how to make a batch file so that I can launch the ipconfig /all command right off my desktop. I know how to get to the command prompt and running, but I want to just put a shortcut and/or write a batch file with just a click.


I can get the command prompt up. I open a new text file and type: C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe and then I save the text file to .bat and I click on it and my command prompt comes up. I can't seem to get ipconfig /all to come up at all. Thanks in advance!

To create a batch file that runs the ipconfig /all command directly from your desktop, you can follow these steps: 1. Open Notepad: Open Notepad on your computer. You can do this by searching for "Notepad" in the Start menu or by pressing Windows Key + R to open the Run dialog, then type notepad and hit Enter. 2. Create the Batch File: In the Notepad window, type the following command:

 ipconfig /all

3. Save the File: Click on File in the top menu, then select Save As.... Choose a location on your desktop where you want to save the file. In the "Save as type" dropdown, select "All Files (.)" and name the file something like ipconfig.bat. 4. Run the Batch File: Once you've saved the file, you can double-click on it to run the ipconfig /all command. This will open a Command Prompt window and display the output of the ipconfig /all command. By following these steps, you'll be able to create a simple batch file that runs the ipconfig /all command with just a double-click from your desktop. Feel free to test it out and let me know if you encounter any issues!
