How to create a desktop shortcut that runs a cmd line with some arguments or idk what are these but nothing is working

[Yohelpmedogimlost]

So I need to be able to press a shortcut and a cmd line should be executed But the line is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Bluetooth Command Line Tools\bin>btcom -n "WH-1000XM3" -c -s110b

 

and any other answers are able to run only batch files or someting with /k and after that "my comments" but nothing works

So I need somehow to implement -n "WH-1000XM3" -c -s110b at the end and I have no idea of windows syntax

but the path has ...\bin>btcom at the end and no \ so that can be a problem

Anyway the folder bin has something in it but I cant use it to include in the path enter image description here

The command line works when using the "integrated" cmd box but it is used to type the commands

and I would like a shortcut on my desktop enter image description here

 

Any kind of help is welcome Thanks

I don't fully understand your post but I assume you want to execute this line and have no cmd prompt appear? Heres what you want in your cmd batch script.

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Bluetooth Command Line Tools\bin"
start btcom -n "WH-1000XM3" -c -s110b

Thanks but should I paste it in notepad and save it as cmd or batch file?

I dont tinker with this normally, I have no idea

Yeah you can save it in notepad as .cmd or .bat, doesn't matter. You can place the script anywhere you want.

So I think it opens something else and doesnt execute the line with success

 

When I open the thing manually it says something else on the top

 

The manual cmd is located here so it might be useful

Change extension to .bat

As thats for batch files and .com is for binary text command files.

Yup that was .bat  and its not working

It opens the wrong thing and the line is for no use there

C:\Users\mariush>cmd /?
Starts a new instance of the Windows command interpreter

CMD [/A | /U] [/Q] [/D] [/E:ON | /E:OFF] [/F:ON | /F:OFF] [/V:ON | /V:OFF]
    [[/S] [/C | /K] string]

/C      Carries out the command specified by string and then terminates
/K      Carries out the command specified by string but remains
/S      Modifies the treatment of string after /C or /K (see below)
/Q      Turns echo off
/D      Disable execution of AutoRun commands from registry (see below)
/A      Causes the output of internal commands to a pipe or file to be ANSI
/U      Causes the output of internal commands to a pipe or file to be
        Unicode

So make a short to C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C btcom -n "WH-1000XM3" -c -s110b

 and set the working folder, the folder where btcom is located after you configure the shortcut. In Windows 7, it's the Start in: text box, you can type there the path and it auto suggests so you won't make mistakes.

you can also set it to start minimized so it won't bother you and so on...

and from advanced you can set to run cmd as administrator which in turn will run that btcom as administrator if it requires administrative rights.

Again, may be a bit different under Windows 10

 

 

 

 

If you make batch files , you can add at the end a line saying pause, which will keep the window opened on the screen until you press a key, so you can see if there's some error. You can then remove the pause line once you're sure the batch is written properly.

you can also say something like @echo off  as first line, and that means the commands the batch file executes won't be echo-ed on the screen, you only get the output of the programs you launch.

You can say @pause or basically add @ in front of commands to prevent the command from being shown on screen.

maybe I should stucture a little bit

When I open this 

 

This pops out 

 

And I need to complete it with that

 

Somehow when btcom is called with a shortcut it doesnt work so I thing I should stick to the original shortcut somehow in the other shortcut with the line added

Nah its not working

If btcom is used outside original prompt it does nothing

I think I should stick to a macro with the original shortcut and then automatic paste of the line

But that would be ugly

How about if you copy shortcut the BTCOM executable.
Then edit that to have the parameter behind the file name in the shortcut, it might pass them trough.

 

edit;

Right click the original executable and click copy. Then on empty space in same folder right click again and click past shortcut.
Then on the new file right click and select properties.

Then after the file name put the parameters.

Somewhat similar as in picture.

But correctly, i made some typing errors, sorry.

Thanks for the help but no luck

BTCOM.exe is for no help here

So should I just add my line after the '' sign ?

Or do I need smth else?
