Re: adb shortcut?

Zombie,

I had no idea what you were looking for when you posted this initiially. BUT... have you modified the Environment Variables so that once you open cmd.exe you can simply type 'adb shell' to get into the adb? IE you wont have to specify the location of the adb.exe file once you get into cmd.

In Vista:
-Right Click on 'Computer' and select Properties
-Click the Advanced System Settings link
-Select 'Environment Variables'
-In the system variables section scroll and select 'Path' then hit 'Edit'
-At the end of the existing Variable Value put a semicolon and the folder path to where the adb.exe app is located.
OK > OK etc.

EDIT: To view or change environment variables in XP:
  1. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
  2. Click the Advanced tab.
  3. Click Environment variables.
  4. Select 'PATH' and then click Edit to change its name or value.
