Syntax

Parameters

Pathname is the path and name of the executable file.

Newname is the new name for the window.

Arguments are command line arguments. If there is more than one argument, put them all together in double quotation marks.

Remarks

The pathname is the complete path and name of the file starting from the drive letter. Microsoft calls this a "fully qualified pathname." Here are some examples:

"c:\Program files\windows\system32\notepad.exe"

"c:\Program files\windows\World of Warcraft\Wow.exe"

"c:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\HotkeyNet.exe"

Those examples are inside quotation marks because they have spaces in them.

This command calls the operating system function CreateProcess.
