Using Windows NT Embedded command
prompt
A key element in Windows NT Embedded is the command
prompt window. Since Windows NT Embedded does not have
the familiar shell of a full Windows NT Workstation, you must
use the command prompt to send commands to Windows NT
Embedded. Upon start up, Windows NT Embedded always
displays the default command prompt window. This default
command prompt executes the
C:\AUTOST.BAT batch file. To
open additional command prompt windows, call the Start
command from a command prompt window. To close a window,
click on the window’s close button or call Exit from the window.
If you close the default window, you can reopen it as follows:
1. Press Crtl-Alt-Del. The Windows NT Security dialog box
opens.
2. Click on the Task Manager button. This launches the Task
Manager application.
3. Select New Task(Run...) from the File menu. The Create
New Task dialog box opens.
4. In the edit field, type CMD or CMD /K C:\AUTOST.BAT,
as needed.
A minimal Windows NT Explorer shell has been included to
facilitate browsing through Windows NT Embedded files. To
start the minimal explorer shell, use the ‘EXPLORER’
command line from a previously opened command prompt
window.
