Here it is, the simple way. Right Click Empty Space on Desktop-->New-->Shortcut. Type "cmd /k ipconfig.exe" Click Next and name the shortcut. That's it.

Windows XP Powertoys Mozilla Firefox 98Lite (minimal Win98) & XPLite The same. (Without the IPCONFIG path, which makes it more ambiguous. %SYSTEMROOT% is a env. variable for \SystemRoot, usually a symlink to \Devices\Harddisk0\Partition1\Windows or \Devices\Harddisk0\Partition1\WINNT, in the NT object tree. With SystemRoot\System32 in the cmdline, an incorrect file reference is impossible, e.g.: if a malware IPCONFIG.EXE is in \SystemRoot, the good will be loaded from \SystemRoot\SYSTEM32 using my method.)

What does the /k option do? Also, say I want to create a shortcut for ip release and renew - but I want the commands to execute subsequently in the same window? I know I can create a bat file like the shortcut however, I am not sure how to enter the second statement so it executes in the same cmd window.

answer to my own questions :) create a .bat file but do not use the cmd command @echo off ipconfig /release ipconfig /flushdns arp -d ipconfig /renew ipconfig /all pause the pause is what i was looking for , it allows u to see the output and hit any key the flushdns and arp -d are optional you can either create a shortcut to the batch file or put it directly on the desktop

Yes, and just in passing: /C Loads cmd.exe into memory, executes the command you specify after the '/C' and then ends the session. /K Just the same as /C except the session isn't terminated.

You can always use the gui - wntipcfg - instead of course (just google for it).
