Create a command shortcut icon in windows to run a command like pinging Google website

Hi,

One of my friend asked me about how we can check whether ping/network is active or not?

He suggested that, if we have a shortcut command icon on desktop to create ping command then it would be easy for any naïve user to check whether ping/network is active or not?

 

Objective:

Creating Ping command shortcut with google.com

 

Procedure:

1. Right click on the desktop
2. Select “New” from the pop-up menu
3. Choose “Shortcut” option
4. Enter “cmd.exe /K ping google.com” as type of location of the item
5. Click on “Next” button
6. Enter “Ping Google” as name for the shortcut
7. Click on “Finish” button
8. Now you will be able to view a shortcut icon on desktop with name “Ping Google “ name
9. When you run (Double click/Select and Enter) the “Ping Google”, you will be able to see that the command prompt displaying the content of running a ping to google.com
