Good morning,
This is not a duplicate of questions like this one: I'm not looking to open the command prompt and to replace the text of the prompt by something else:
I have just downloaded conEmu
, a console emulator, and I would like to replace the command prompt program (cmd.exe
) by that one.
Hereby some history: I have an application that opens a command prompt, writes some things to that prompt, and also writes those same things to a logfile. In case something goes wrong, I can either read it from the command prompt or from the logfile.
Now this is the situation I'm facing: the application starts, opens the command prompt, writes some stuff and closes. While closing, also the command prompt gets closed.
I know from previous experience that this can be handled, replacing cmd.exe
by a more persistent commandline tool (like conEmu
, the one I've just downloaded).
Point is: I don't know how I should configure my Windows-10 machine in order to open conEmu
instead of cmd.exe
.
Does anybody know?
Thanks in advance
