I would like to have a shortcut on my desktop to ipconfig.exe with
the additional command line "/all". When I attempt to do this, the
program appears to run, but immediately returns to Windows proper -
it's just a brief flash on the screen.

If it's possible to do this, could someone tell me what the Target
line for the shortcut should say? Thanks very much.
 
Create a batch file with:
Ipconfig/all
Pause
Create a shortcut and modify it's properties for window size &
placement. When run, the batch will execute -showing the info
and then idle on the pause command. Any key press will allow
the batch to finish and exit.

Place "%windir%\system32\cmd.exe /k ipconfig /all" (without the quotes)
in the target field of the shortcut.
