If you want to run the windows explorer directly after wcd you have to add an extra line to your wcd.bat script (on windows NT/2000/XP). Example: @echo off wcdwin32.exe %* echo explorer.exe . >> c:\wcdgo.bat c:\wcdgo.bat If you use the dos32bit version on windows 95/98/ME this batch script will work: @echo off wcd.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 explorer.exe .
