Solve : Entering Batch parameters at execution?

Answer»

Many years ago when I was much better acquainted with batch files, we could input information at runtime by including a flag for a prompt. For example, let's SAY that I wanted to run a batch backup PROGRAM from a Windows icon, and I wanted to put the backup files at a certain location SPECIFIED at run time. In the field where I would specify the executable I would put something like this:

c:\...\MyBatch.bat /p

At run time a small dialog would pop up and ask for input. WELL, "/p" no longer WORKS (if it was the correct flag in the first place). Does anyone know how to do what I am suggesting? Is the option even available any more?

TIA!

John
