I recently made the switch to windows vista from xp, and when running lame from cmd, dragging and dropping files for the file name no longer works. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

You can't.
CMD is short for DOS Command Line Prompt. In essence, it's a way of doing it the "old" MS-DOS way. Everything is done via the keyboard. No drag and drop. |

No drag and drop. The OP is not expressing confusion over what the command prompt is, but rather frustration with the differences between how the command prompt works between XP and Vista. In Windows XP you can drag a file icon into the command prompt window and the full path will be pasted onto the prompt, auto-magically filling in whatever command string you have started. The OP is saying this no longer works in Vista and was hopeful someone knew why, or what the OP could do differently. -------------------- Creature of habit.

Ok, apparently microsoft has decided that dragging and dropping into cmd was useless, and removed it in vista. One solution I found was to shift-right click the file and copy as path. More troublesome though it beats typing out the whole path. Any better solutions?
