I have a few different batch files setup to map drives depending what state the user is in that runs upon logon...I am wanting to make it silent, because users tend to close out of it sometimes before it has been completed. Or at least run it minimized?It is ran from active directory...I would create a script, but I would have to change each user in active directory
View 1 RepliesI am trying to create a batch file that runs 3 other batch files. Right now, it works fine using the call command on each other batch file. However, these other batch files take awhile to run. and so the entire process takes a very long time, since each "sub" batch file is run only after the previous one is finished.I was wondering if there is a command or way to start a batch file fro the top-level batch file, then go on and start the next batch file before the previous one is finished. In other words, I want the sub batch files to run in parallel in the background. (similar to the '&' in Unix).

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow could I run a batch file as an administrator without any user involvement. I just want when the file is clicked on to start running as an admin because it is copying files in the Programs directory and cannot do it without administrator privileges.
I have this... runas /noprofile /useran-SlateDan cmd but that requires me to have to type my password, and also just opens up a new shell and does not actually elevate the shell that it ran in.
To cut a long story short, I decided to try out a demo for a games which is coming out, and a friend gave me the file (it's a FREE demo mind you) and I didn't really like the game so I want to uninstall. How do I go about that?When I installed the game at first, it installed via one of those command prompt boxes.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've got this folder. In this folder are 643 sub-folders. I want to change the icon of all of those folders quickly, because doing it manually would be horrible.
Each folder has to have it's own icon. Not all the same one.
Currently the .ico's are in a folder with all the exact same name as the folders they need to be matched with. (if I sort by name, they'll all be in the exact same order, if that helps anything)
example: Mainfolder/A/ needs to have icon "A.ico"
So I've been kinda searching around and it seems things like this can (or not) be done with a batch file, and the desktop.ini. Or something..
I have a batch file that I used on XP to run an MMC that I created for common management tasks. In the MMC I have the ability to run regedit as a root forest domain privileged user (for remote system registry editing), password resets (using AD) remote computer management, and several web links for common sites the team uses. I did this so it was all in one place and it worked awesome in Win XP. When I run the batch file it reports that the directory could not be found.[CODE]
I have verified that runas is in the same place as in XP, as well as MMC. I have run the batch file with elevate access as well as run the command prompt with elevated access (in fact that was copied from an elevated command prompt). The account I'm running it on has admin rights on the box, though UAC is set, I own both the account this was run from and the "root forest" privileged account, this account is NOT a domain admin.This is all being done on Win 7 Pro in a large enterprise domain environmentthis batch file worked and still works on Win XP in the same environment.
Tried writing a batch file to open a few programs I use together regularly, but which I don't want all the time on startup.I've tried:

etbeans.exe"
start �OfficeTime� /d "C:Program Files (x86)OfficeTimeOfficeTime.exe"

I've tried setting it to run as Admin, but the check-box is greyed out....

It looks like that the If statement is not working. Every time I run this batch file, it runs through all the command lines.and I got a error message said the service is already running.
Is there a way to make a batch file that will automatically change Services? My main goal here is to 1 click edit all the services I change from disable,automatic, and delayed. I use the same settings for the entire family that I am tech support for so it makes life easier.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAt work i use 2 different PDF viewing software. One is Adobe for editing and the other is Foxit for quick viewing. They have their pros and cons and so I use them interchangeably.For some work I will use Foxit for several hours at a time and only open something in Adobe on an as needed basis using the right click "open with" context. The opposite is true, for some work I use Adobe for hours and then use Foxit as needed with "open with" context.I want a registry file or some application that will enable me to simply double click on it and KNOW that my file association for PDF is now Foxit (or Adobe depending on what batch or registry file I double click on).I see there is "HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrent Version ExplorerFileExts.pdf" which changes when I edit the file association in control panel. It does update, but I can't manually change the "UserChoice" Progid item. It changes only through file association in control panel.I realize there are some in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT but they don't update when i update it in file association in Control panel.I don't know what to do or where else to look.It is tedious to have to go to the control panel -> file association manually.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to create a text file (saving it as .bat probably) which when executed will recreate a keystroke press? The keys I need would include modifiers, precisely shift-alt-ctrl-[letter key here].Some background story for anyone interested: I want to trigger an action in another program each time the computer locks. This program has some kind of event trigger, but it doesn't seem to work correctly with windows user lock in all scenarios. So I set a random hotkey to what I want the program to perform. Then I could through windows task scheduler create a task which triggers on user lock and executes this batch file imitating the hotkey press

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a script on my laptop under my account which is an Administrator account. I double click the .bat file and it shuts down my remote server without any issue.
When I go into another account on my laptop, which was an regular user account, changed to an Administrator account, I double click on the .bat file and CMD comes and goes quickly with the "Access Denied" message.
I cannot figure it out for the life of me. The script is shutting down a Windows Server 2008 R2 computer. My simple script.

Script to shut down server works on Account 1. Script gets "Access Denied" on Account 2.
I have searched all over the Internet looking for how to associate certain extensions with certain programs using a .bat file... but no luck. I have spent about two hours experimenting. I'm able to do this from the command prompt: Code: ASSOC .cpp=C++_Source_Code FTYPE C++_Source_Code=E:Notepad2.exe %0 I created a small hi.cpp file to test this. It works perfectly. The command line is E:Notepad2.exe E:hi.cpp just like it should be.
However, doing the same thing from within a batch file yields the command line E:Notepad2.exe E:assoc.bat which opens my batch file when i double-click on hi.cpp... Is it even possible to perform this association from within a batch file? I have a LOT of different file types to register, and i don't want to spend 20 minutes every time i log on associating these extensions by hand.
So, Basically When I Hold Shift+Right Click On a Folder And Open Command Prompt Here
I Get Access Denied..
