Double clicking on tool.exe won't do anything, because you need to run it from the Windows Command prompt.
Quickest explanation:
Start, Run. Type: cmd
Press Enter
Type this if you installed Halo CE with the default directory location/name:
cd c:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo Custom Edition\tool
Press Enter
You'll see a list of all the command syntaxes tool uses. These are used to edit your Halo content.

or create a shortcut to the command prompt, and edit the shortcut properties to tell it to "Start in:" your HCE installation folder.
here's a screenshot of my tool shortcut properties
this makes it wayyy more convenient

Don't be so rude...but Chaos, we do enforce a no bumping rule, so if you would be so kind as to read the dates of the posts, it would be appreciated.

yea, im definitely playing halo ce on windows 95. also i dont think it was called cmd.exe in 95. and the compatibility tab would tell you its most likely XP. so there's your answer. XP. i dont like rounded edges or pretty colors. XP + Windows Classic + TCLOCK > default XP.
and here... for your viewing pleasure:
have fun learning all about my 45 quicklaunch shortcuts and my awesome clock and mc escher start menu

Or just copy command prompt into your CE directory, its easier then typing CD blah blah to change the directory each time.
