i just installed a new premium theme called hud apocalypse. i love the theme except it kinda erased my shutdown/restart/logoff/switchuser default from the start menu.I was able to write a batch file to shutdown. this is the code in the batch file c:windowssystem32shutdown -s -f -t 000..i've done a lot of google searches and alot of them say to restart via batch file and the command is Shutdown -r but this just shutsdown the computer and doesn't reboot.
I'm trying to write a request to COM2 and capture the answer. My device is 19200 baud 8/1 non parity.Using a freeware terminal called termite I can send the hex instruction and receive the answer, as verified in HHD serial monitor.My batch file looks like this: Code: MODE COM2: baud=19200 parity=N data=8 stop=1 to=offTYPE request.txt>COM2COPY COM2 text.txt where request.txt contains my request.HHD sees the request being written, but the device does not respond.
I do a lot of internet troubleshooting and would like to put a simple batch file in customers computers that will let me see their DNS numbers when they are using a router.I currently do this from a command prompt for Comas.
Was infected by the matsnu1 virus recently which encrypes and locks all your data files. Got all my files back by running matsnu1decryp.exe You need an original clean file before the virus struck for it to work out how to decrypt all your other files does does save the day. Down side is that you end up with two files. The the original and a locked version. You can just go through your hard drive and delete the locked files but I have a 1TB disk with thousands of files and folders.
Since all the locked files begin with "locked" I was wondering about some sort of batch file that would do this for all folders and sub folders. I am sure I remember doing this stuff years ago with DOS but don't remember enough to try it. Any DOS command for this or some other way of quickly deleting many files which have part of the name which is common to all files. They all have different extensions so cannot use that option. My drive is H:
I 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).
How to create a batch file that will move files based on the file type?My Requirement : I need a batch file to copy all .doc files in all my HardDisk to aremovable disk say (Z: drive) . Can anyone make it possible using a batch file
Can someone show what a batch file would look like for use in Win7?Secondly the method for writing same batch file please.I want copy a file or files to the desktop before shutting down or rebooting and secondly copy same file/files to their original location after booting.
I'm looking for a way to crash a Windows 7 computer, using a batch file. I know a decent amount about DOS/Batch files, but I don't know exactly how to crash a windows 7 computer using a batch file, because there was only one way I really wanted to do it, but with Windows 7 security fail safe, I can't take control and delete my "c:windowssystem32" folder. You're probably asking me why I would like to do this, and the reason is because it's a school project. My instructor would like us to crash one of this lab computers using a batch file, which all I can do is Right-click>Run As Administrator.
But I'm not here for that, all I'm curious about is some different, unique, cool ways to crash a Windows 7 computer. Batch file will be copied to the desktop and run as administrator.(No files other than the batch file may be copied to desktop) Additional files can be utilized either as a result of creation through the batch file, as a result of downloading from the Internet or files native to the lab workstations. Additional files are only to be utilized through the batch file Speakers are available on-demand Damage must be contained within the local machine.
I am working on a batch file that will copy down required updates to some software in "Program Files." (Using the XCOPY command).This works fine as long as it is on XP and the user is at least a Power User (ability to modify "Program Files" ). I understand about the Power User requirement, so about XP is not the problem.With Windows 7, however, when we try running the batch file, it gives us an "Access Denied" error. Even if the user is a domain admin it gives the same message. The only way to get around this is to right click on it and make it "Run as Administrator".Any ideas on how to make it run for a Power User? I don't believe that it would allow a Power User to run it under Run as Administrator, so am wondering if there is a way to make it do something like "Run as Power User."
How 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.
I have many videos and music that needs renaming often but i'm wary of 3rd party apps. I use to use rename-it! back when i had vista and xp but it hasn't been updated for Windows 7
I've made a batch file, but i don't know how to make it to always run as administartor. In .bat's file properties the option "always run as administartor" is grayed out. I have to right click it and then choose "run as administartor" from context menu. But i don't want to do it every time because it's annoying, is there any way to make run as admin if option is grayed out in properties?
I have 2 files that are in the same directory which I want to start one after the other.I have created a simple batch file like this which opens 2 files at the same time. ExampleStart Server.exeStart Game.exeIs it possible to leave say a 10 second gap between opening the Server.exe and Game.exe? Also is it possible to quit Server.exe when I exit Game.exe?
is there a simple program that converts batch file to .exe file? I found this: Bat To Exe Converter - CNET Download.com But some users say its virus/malware. Can someone confirm that or give a diffrent link?
hei hava batch file that shutdowns my windows 7 pc at certain time everyday. (night). how can i get this to run daily. currently it runs on the day i "excute the batch file". for certain reason, i don't want to use the "Schedule Task" to do this.
1. WD Caviar Blue 500GB (OS Drive) 2. WD Caviar Green 1TB
I've read that enabling write-caching may speed up drive performance. I checked on my 1TB drive, it was already enabled. On my 500GB drive though it was disabled.So I then decided to enable write-caching on my 500GB drive. I proceeded to do so without any apparent problems. However after doing a system restart I saw that it went back to being disabled again.I've tried this several times already, same thing each time!Enable write caching restart write caching disabled again.
I'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.
if servicename is running, do nothing.if servicename is not running, then start servicename, then record the date and time.based on my search [COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]online[/COLOR][/COLOR], here is what I have so far.
[code]...
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.
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
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.
At 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.
Is 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
