This works for me on win7-64: 1. Create a new shortcut icon. 2. Change the Target property of the icon to:
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /K "chcp 65001 && cd C:\Users\me\j64-602\bin && jconsole" 3. Select the Shortcut Key property of the icon. 4. Cloe the icon properties. 5. Type Ctrl+Alt+j Now, any time I type Ctrl+Alt+j, I get a new jconsole window that is using codepage 65001 and that displays a: using the box drawing characters. -- David Mitchell On 10/28/2010 9:41, Tracy Harms wrote: > Thanks, Raul. > > The command 'chcp 65001' does make the box-drawing work right if I launch > cmd.exe, execute chcp 65001, then execute jconsole.exe within that window. > That's an improvement. > > What I was hoping, though, is to have jconsole.exe open directly and work.
