Features

Command Prompt Portable is a simple utility that allows you to have a custom command line setup on any Windows computer you come across. It has built in support for the command line interpreters on both Windows 95/98/Me and Windows 2000/XP/Vista as well as the ability to customize using simple DOS commands by editing the .bat file within CommandPromptPortable\Data\batch after you've run it once. You can customize the prompt, colors, window title, columns and more. A basic batch file is included with some simple settings.

You can also pass in paths you'd like the command prompt to start in by starting CommandPromptPortable.exe with a command line parameter of the path (Windows 2000 and up only). Advanced users can enable auto-complete by following the directions within the Other\Source\readme.txt file.

Helpful Tip: Launch a command prompt with your own portable command line tools in the path by adding SET PATH=%~d0\UtilsDirectory;%PATH% to the batch file and placing your tools in X:\UtilsDirectory

New In This Release

This release adds the ability to pass in paths from other applications like portable file managers, use auto-complete and a new multilingual installer.

Command Prompt Portable is packaged in a PortableApps.com Installer so it will automatically detect an existing PortableApps.com installation when your drive is plugged in. And it's in PortableApps.com Format, so it automatically works with the PortableApps.com Suite including the Menu and Backup Utility.
