Re: Cannot drag and drop file onto command prompt window

I have reported this issue, but simply got a "Won't Fix".
https://connect.microsoft.com/feedba...edbackID=59800

I think this function is very important for people who often use cmd.exe to
run commands, scripts or batch files.
Many commands or scripts take file name as argument, these are situations
I'll use the drag and drop function.
Typing whole path and file name manually has very low productivity. Although
you can use Tab key to auto-complete, it's still slower than drag and drop.
Why not just double click for scrips and batch files? Because the cmd.exe
will close automatically after finishing.
