FreeCommander Forum

I though this area was to put a dos command that would initiate every time i opened a DOS box (CTRL+D). maybe i'm using it incorrectly? I wanted to change the color of the text and background. so i put in "COLOR 17" (no quotes)

this works at the dos command line, but it wont let the dos box open if i include that command in the dos prompt section of FCs settings.

Is this a bug, or am i using that area incorrectly?

The command specification for Windows 7/64:
cmd.exe /K"COLOR 17"

I have a question regarding the command line in FC.
any time I type in a command eg. "dir, echo, etc." directly in the command line a new dos box is opened and the command is executed then the dos box stays open. when entering "ipconfig" a dos box is opened but closed immediately. why is that? any idea?

Send the command with "Alt+Enter" if the dos box should be not closed.

dos box closes even with "alt+enter". I found more commands where the box is closed intermediately:
arp, tracert, route, ping

while it stays open with other commands:
netstat, ping google.com

I don't understand why.
