Using BGInfo Command Line Parameters
May 18, 2010
I've read the Help file in BGInfo - but can't figure out how to use Command Line Parameters. When I click on my startup icon, I would like to invoke certain parameters. The line I came up with is: "C:Program FilesBGInfoBgInfoBginfo.exe /timer:99 /popup /taskbar /rtf:C:DATABGINFO /nolicprompt" Obviously, this is wrong. My Target line reads: "C:Program FilesBGInfoBgInfoBginfo.exe". My Start in line reads: "C:Program FilesBGInfoBgInfo"
what, exactly, should go in each line. I would also like to add lines of information to BGInfo - but that question will come after I get the above working.

I am writing to this Forum in desperation because I cannot find any way to get in touch by email with Windows Live OneCare even though I am a paid subscriber. I have NOT had a good experience of MS tech support. After 18 months of endless problems with Windows VISTA Ultimate Edition V 6001 I now wish to reformat my computer and get RID of it altogether, replacing it with System 7 for which I have a serial number and a beta download from the recent Microsoft online download offer.
As VISTA seems to have eleminated DOS altogether and the old FDisk command doesn't work from a command line start, I have tried to reformat from my OEM Vista Ultimate Edition re-installation DVD which I am certain used to offer me reformat and partitioin delete as the first options but that no longer seems to offer me any reformat option at all and not only instists only on re-installing VISTA (which I no longer want) but leaves the old installation in a directory renamed "WindowsOld" which VISTA will then not allow me to delete....

I'm having trouble with the REN command with wild cards as used from the command prompt. For example, in the REN command help, it says: "For example, if you had files that are named smitha.doc, smithb.doc, and smithc.doc, you could use the ren smith*.doc smythe*.doc command. All file names automatically show the new spelling, and are renamed smythea.doc, smytheb.doc, and smythec.doc.".........

I'm looking for a native x64 command line tool that can display the amount of free RAM. It has to be a true x64 tool. Does anyone know one? My google searches brought up nothing.
Edit: I finally found what I was looking for. RamStatus is the tool that helped me out.

I use a program called "Texmod" for a number of games to modify their textures. One game I am recently playing, however, requires that a command line switch be used to run the game client exe directly. Texmod doesn't support command line switching through it's own, so the game client refuses to work. Is there anyway (via Windows options or a third-party application) I can embed/hardcode the command line switch into the exe permanatly, so if the exe is ran, it'll always force load the command line switch?

I bought an Acer Aspire 6530 last week. I noticed whenever I go to the GUI disk defragmenter (My Computer>Right click C:>Properties>Tools>Degfragmentation) that it ALWAYS says I need to defrag the drive even after I did did one. But when I do the command line defrag (Start>All Programs>Accessories, says I don't need to. This happens everytime even after I run the defragmenter. So why does
the GUI one says I need to while the command line one says I dont. Isnt the GUI and Command Line one basically the same?

The IP address of your computer can be set from the command prompt by running the following commands at an administrative level prompt:
netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" static 123.123.123.123 255.255.255.0 123.123.123.1 1
Local Area Connection is the name of the adapter you want to modify. In single NIC systems it is normally called Local Area Connection....

Is there a way to set UAC to capture or log the entire command line of a program including all switches that is requesting elevation? I have an unknown potentially suspicious program that is requesting elevation and I am unable to see the entire command line or path to the binary to investigate it. To be safe, I have declined running the program, and briefly examined the Windows event logs but have not been able to find the details I am looking for.
As a temporary work-around, I am going to connect via remote desktop to take a screenshot of the UAC prompt, but this only gives me part of the command since the display dialog cuts of the text.

Our company has a 16bit command line application that works fine under XP and was working fine under Vista until, we believe, service pack 1 was installed. The program works initially to accept keyboard input but seems to ignore any keyboard input after a few minutes of the PC being left with no activity. We have tested this on Windows Vista and Windows 7 and have exactly the same issue. We have created a very basic program that would allow you to type characters and exit when Enter is pressed. I have narrowed the time delay before the program freezes down to about 4 minutes of inactivity. This will cause the program to not respond to any key presses on the keyboard and has to be closed by clicking on the x in the top right corner.
I am wondering if anyone else is having this issue and also if there is a fix for this? (Perhaps a registry key timeout setting?) Below is a copy of the source code we used for our simple program. The program is written in Microsoft C version 5. We are using an Int 16h Function 00h BIOS call to read the keyboard character.

I've been getting this error message when I try to open certain control panel functions from the RUN command line or through the MMC console itself. Other functions like performance information, user accounts and parental controls don't respond when clicked. Windows update might flash up the beginnings of a window for a split second but wont load. I've got the update icon on my task bar saying it cant update. Other than some key function being inaccessible the PC runs fine (apart form Firefox has started crashing out every now again) I can install software ok.
I've run the SVG /scannow thing and it found no problem Its my home PC sp I am setup as administrator. This problem is effecting another vanilla admin account AND the hidden Admin account. I've virus scanned in safe mode. System restore went through the motions but after it had restarted the PC it said it couldn't actually restore........

Can anyone explain this: 3219. The screenshot shows the folder view (in Windows Explorer), and a directory listing (in a Command Line window). Why is the Explorer window showing different filenames than the command line window? It's not so much of an issue, as I'm currently completing a scheduled backup of this drive using Nero Burning ROM, and will be formatting it soon.

I've been trying to figure out how to make a command prompt run a command line as soon as the box comes up.
I need this to happen all from one command line. A command prompt needs to open with "echo hi" being ran as a command line.

I'd appreciate some guidance on this problem,running Vista Home Basic and I've had no problem with this 149Gb external HDD drive except when I tried to format it. It did delete everything but then says "Cannot format this drive" when I try other methods like defragmenting it or checking for error it keeps saying Windows does not recognise this something about wrong parameters. I tried Restore but no go,also nothing in the Device manager all is well with it.
After 3 days I tried to format it again and it worked,loaded some files on to it but then wanted them deleted so I formatted it and this has started all over again. It's just a spare HDD drive but I'd like to know why.

I'm trying to get my Line-in to play through my desktops speakers! They are currently muted and my speaker properties currently don't have an un-mute option (common Vista bug...was so easy on XP). I plugged a stereo jack from my xbox360 into the back of my new desktop with windows VISTA. Windows vista is able to detect sound coming in, but does not play it through my speakers.
So far ive:
-tested the stereo jack in my laptop, with windows XP and it worked perfectly.
-doulbed checked to make sure everything is unmuted.
-used windows vista sound recorder to record input sound...i was able to play it after.......

I recently exported all my mail from Windows mail, re-installed Windows, then imported my mail back in again, along with my account info and contacts. Everything has seemed fine, however approximately one in every 20-50 emails has a strange problem. The subject line will show a subject and sender, however the content pane will show a comletely different email, an email from a different sender and on a diferent date.
1. I might receive an email with a certain sender and subject on the 2nd of Oct 2009.
2. Click on the subject and see different email content from a different sender in the content pane.
3. Check the email headers with the subject selected (Ctrl+F3) and see the headers show it is from the person in the content pane and was sent on the 1st of Oct 2009.

Under OE, my top line on a hardcopy was showing my name.
(Note: I mean the line...ABOVE the (1st) header line "From:").
But at WM, it only features a (bold) underlined letter "X"!
So could kindly someone inform me how I could modify this?

If I connect my Vista laptop to a power outlet in public, such as an airport terminal, library, or coffee shop, how viable is the threat from someone gaining access to my computer via a power-line network? If the threat is viable today, what is the best method of stopping it?
I know many people will say this is too unlikely and that other security threats are of much more concern to the average computer user, but with the increasing sophistication of ripoff artists either trying to steal your identity or pilfer your financial data I wouldn't assume the threat is not viable and not likely to increase in the future. After all, the federal government and the defense industry utilize TEMPEST, outlining the need for classified "Red Power" systems to protect computers from power-line monitoring and Van Eyck monitoring as well, versus "Black Power" systems that are connected to the public grid. In fact, not too long ago the French were caught conducting industrial espionage by tapping into a local power grid and accessing information via power lines.

When I enter the first letters of an email recipient's name, a selection of possible recipients appears in a box beneath the To: line. I appreciate this feature, but I would like to eliminate one of these alternative recipients, which is not even in my contacts list. How do I eliminate this unwanted recipient's address? Perhaps this box that ppears is simply a history of sent/received emails beginning with that particular letter -- if so, how do I edit this history?
