      XPost: alt.comp.os.windows-10, comp.os.msdos.programmer       From: address@not.available              Oh. My. God.              Again one of those "lets just shit all over the newsgroups" posts of our       resident brainiac.              Kudos to you kid, you are to dumb to even realize that MSDOS doesn't have       anything resembling shortcuts. Let alone that "veracrypt" isn't available       for DOS. In short: No help to be expected from MSDOS users, batch or       otherwise.              Besides: How hard is it to realize that you can, as Grant already indicated,       use the link to start a batch file (or any other kind of script! PowerShell       perhaps ?) to do some multi-line commands (or maybe even create a (batch       style, single-line!) loop over the involved drive letters).              > Combining them with "&" and "&&" in a single shortcut       > TARGET line garners: "VeraCrypt: Error while parsing       > command line."              Little wonder brainiac, as stitching commands together using "&" or "&&" is       only valid on the commandline and has no meaning in the rest of Windows.       Didn't you know ?              But if you really /have/ to do it that way just shortcut to CMD.EXE and have       it execute that commandline. Problem solved.              Regards,       Rudy Wieser              P.s.       removed: alt.comp.freeware.
