i want to execute two commands with the
command
can someone give me an example with the EXACT syntax of how i would do this? thanks.

do you mean run two command prompt commands at once or sequentually?

(this is unimaginative) Well let me give you the situation. I want to set up a "Scan with Ad-aware" option in my directory context menu. This feature is included in the pay versions, but being the cheap ass that I am I wanted to do it myself. So, I fired up regedit and navigated to the registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell and added a command. Now in order to fire this up, I need to open a command prompt and execute: "Ad-aware.exe .", which scans my current file. Since MSDOS opens at a set path, I need to open it at the given directory and execute ad-aware.exe in the current directory. So the command would be
I fooled arround with various syntaxes but I can't get it working.
Now you might be screaming: BATCH FILE BATCH FILE BATCH FILE!!!!, but for some reason, it didn't work. It contained:
and put it in my C:\windows\system32 directory and put the registry value in my key but it still didn't work.
If anyone is still reading after all the mumbo jumbo, please help

And i apologize for making you use the horizontal scroll bar, and I mean sequentially. Like that huh? 8333423435349 characters to answer a one word question

it couldn't find it, I put the path in my registry key which was C:\windows\system32\Ad-aware.bat

yay, good site. thanks

hmm, doesn't adaware just take the file as a parameter so that your command would be `adaware.exe "%1"` in the folder dir in regedit?

And does Adaware work on the command line?

you could also use "start" or just enter the adaware command directly if you know the correct parameters... for ad-aware I mean

Squall: was your problem solved by the above comments?

Hmmm doz dayz... If nothing has worked yet, there's always the doz uninstall - reinstall way no? When I had doz, adaware always worked fine with the original defaults all unchanged.
