Windows 2000 and DOS

Programmatically Change Window Titles

SUMMARY: Learn this batch file tip to create DOS CMD windows under Windows 2000 with user-specified titles.

From a Windows 2000 batch file, to programmatically create a DOS Window labeled with new title text, you do not need to first create the new DOS window and then change its title via the TITLE command. Just create a new window by typing in the START command, and then enter your desired window name in quotes.

For example, to create a new DOS CMD window and name it "Output Window", enter this command:

START "Output Window"
