Introduction to Java

11. Starting Notepad

Answer:

Yes.

An alternative to all of the above (for both Win 7 and Win 8) is to navigate to a convenient folder (using File Explorer),
then SHIFT-RIGHT click in the file listing of that directory and pick "Open Command Window Here" from the menu.
You should see a command window similar to the previous page.

Starting Notepad

Start NotePad from the command prompt:

C:Users\TEMP> notepad

C:Users\TEMP>

Windows 8:

C:\Users\YourName\JavaSource>notepad

C:\Users\YourName\JavaSource>

Notepad starts in its own window.

Question 11:
Is all this getting to be just too much?
