I notice some .exe program under \WIndows folder
when i click on them, the display a dialog shows the version info
and when i type their names in a command prompt, they display the credit
within the command prompt

Is there a way to determine where the application is launched? from console
or
double click LButton?

1. An icon on the desktop can provide a program with optional command-line information and switches to alter it's behavior.


2. A trick that's common in Unix is to have a program do several different things depending on the name by which it's executed (mv -- cp for example). Since the program's execution name is argv[0], it's readily available.
