How Windows NT implements Wordpad launching?
If I write Wordpad.exe from dos-prompt it is not found but if I write
Write.exe wordpad is executed.
There is also 10 kb write.exe file in Windows directories but not
any wordpad.exe.
How this mapping is done?
Any ideas...
Interesting question!
only guessing (partly):
wordpad.exe is located in c:\program files\windows nt\accessories\wordpad.exe (>200K)
If you want to start THAT from the command line, modify your PATH.
since write.exe is only 10 K, I guess it simply launches wordpad.exe and passes the commandline parameters to it.
