I've just written a handy little utility that allows you to select an executable (or batch file, or any file that's associated with an executable) and right-click for the context menu and choose "Command Line". It will then give you the chance to supply command line arguments to the executable. It will also pause before it closes the window. Useful for console apps but can be used for GUI apps too. Feel free to modify and suggest any improvements etc.
To use, copy the following into a file called CommandLine.reg, then double-click it. ================8<============CUT=HERE============8<===================== Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

I notice it depends on Delayed Expansion to be enabled from the registry. I'm not going anywhere with this, I just though I should mention it since Delayed Expansion is not enabled by default.

Razor, no it doesn't depend on delayed expansion being enabled in the registry at all. The cmd.exe is passed the /v option on the command line, which turns on delayed expansion. This command will work with the default settings. There are no other dependencies.
Thanks for your reply, it was useful in prompting me to explain it a bit better.
