The situation is that I have a portable application that needs to have set environment variable. Other way it tries to set it's settings in user program data dir.
To avoid running the executable in non-portable mode (to avoid allowing it to run without any parameters) I erased the file's ".exe" extension, but then I cannot run it not only by mouse (which I want) but also through start command.
Is there any way to run such executable file that has no exe extension ?
Answer
Yes – simply entering the program's full filename usually works. (The .exe requirement only exists in the GUI shell.)
(It might be that the file needs an extension, though – so if you can't get MyProgram to run, rename it to MyProgram.notexe or MyProgram.lol and try again.)
