Hi everyone,

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

When you want to use context, you need to initialize the tree with:

  C:\context\tex\setuptex.bat C:\context\tex

You can associate this command with a shortcut to the cmd prompt.

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...

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,
