Ok, figured out more what you were getting at I think.

As per sibling post to yours you can run executables from your PATH environment variable in the address bar.

So while you can't run "dir" directly you can run CMD and pass it dir | clip, or as I did "powershell -command ls|clip"

Nice one! Thanks for the direction!

I try to help when I can. I can't usually solve the actual problem, but I can come up with a workaround.

and I often mess those up, so I'm glad I helped you, even if it was only a little bit.
