:: C:\UTILS\BATCH\alias-prompt.lnk
:: ---------------------------------------------------------
:: doskey
:: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/doskey#examples
:: By default, DOSKEY macros are only saved for the current session.

:: Yes, make the shortcut's path
:: %comspec% /k <command>
:: (echo %comspec%)
:: where
:: %comspec% is the environment variable for cmd.exe's full path,
:: equivalent to C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe on most (if not all) Windows installs
:: /k keeps the window open after the command has run,
:: this may be replaced with /c if you want the window to close once the command is finished running
:: <command> is the command you wish to run

:: Create "alias-prompt.lnk",
:: I put it in a folder in my Windows path (for example):
:: C:\UTILS\BATCH\
:: 0) First, create a file to hold your aliases:
:: alias_doskey.bat
:: 1) Create a shortcut:
:: Right-click on your desktop (or elsewhere) to create a link („New Shortcut“).
:: Aka a .lnk file with an exceptionally well hidden extension.
:: ---------------------------
:: 2) "Type the Location of Item" ("Target"):
:: (%comspec% /k <command>)
:: (%windir%\system32\cmd.exe)
:: cmd /k "C:\UTILS\BATCH\alias_doskey.bat & dir /B"
:: ---------------------------
:: 3) Name shortcut.
:: let say...
:: alias-prompt
:: 4) Right Click on shortcut, chose Properties.
:: Start In:
:: C:\UTILS\
:: ---------------------------
:: 5) Move the generated command prompt link, "alias-prompt.lnk" into a directory:
:: C:\UTILS\BATCH\
:: Desktop, "alias-prompt.lnk", Right Click, Cut
:: File Explorer (Win-E),
:: C:\UTILS\BATCH\
:: Paste
:: ---------------------------
:: 6) Here you go :-)
:: Run: Win-R, alias-prompt
:: "alias-prompt.lnk"
:: I put it in a folder in my Windows path:
:: C:\UTILS\BATCH\
:: Now when you open command prompt from the shortcut, your aliases will be loaded.
