Hi everyone,
at the end of the context essentials installation on Windows, it says

What does that mean, and how do I do that (associating the command with
a shortcut to cmd)?
Sorry, haven't had to do anything serious on Windows for years...
Thanks,
Michael

I have a shortcut of cmd.exe on my desktop (WinXP) and I add after
cmd.exe like following :
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /K C:\context\tex\setuptex.bat
So when I run this shortcut I have already ConTeXt env.
HTH,

Ah, it's the /K switch that I wasn't aware of.
Thanks so much!
