dos Shortcut?

[Xavier]

ok, to give commands to mysql i have to go run>cmd>cd..>cd..>cd .......
and then i finally get into the promt where i can give commands to mysql
is there a way to create some sort of shortcut that goes directly yo the mysql promt?? i tried going into the bin directory of mysql and clicking on mysqld-nt but that makes the window appear for just a second and then close a again any way to get arround the timewasting proccess of going to the directory every time i want to make a change???

Make the shortcut to CMD.exe instead (Windows NT4/2K/XP) or command.com (98/Me)...

Make a normal shortcut to it, then edit the properties. In the properties panel you can enter an initial path to use by editing the "Start In" box. Change it to the full path for the MySQL directory. When you click the shortcut, all you'll have to do is type MySQL to begin.

There may be a way to go directly to MySQL but I don't have it installed - sorry.

that brings me back where i was, i can get up to the bin directory with a shortcut i had already done this but i cannot get the shortcut to actually run the mysqld-nt.exe, now when i click on the shortcut i placed on my desktop it comes up only up to the bin directory
