 How do you start a DOS program, with parameters when running f.ex. explorer
under Win95 ???

You can use the MS-DOS prompt of course, but there must be another way to do
it ?

F.ex if I would start an MS-dos application like this:    "EDIT
AUTOEXEC.BAT" - is it possible to do it under Win95 somehow ???

I can go to the edit.com in the explorer, and change the properties so it
will add the parameter "autoexec.bat" - but that is not a very "clean"
solution !

Lots of DOS programs uses parameters (text/numbers), especially when
converting formats, so it would be nice to be able to add these parameters
easily under Win95.


Anyone who knows ?
