I am trying to find a way to set a variable in the cmd that is "permanent".What I mean is that I could set the variable %message% to "hello", and I could close the cmd, open it up a week later and if I typed this: Code: echo %message% This would be the result Code: hello Using the normal SET command will only set the variable for the time the cmd is open. I need to set the variable within the system so that it will stay if I close the cmd.

Twice now I have "done" 'adjust clear type text' to improve legibility of font in parts of Google Earth and Chrome. But THAT text is hard to read AGAIN, suggesting that the 'clear type text' setting does not survive rebooting. How to fix in Win7 Ultimate ?
My cursor wont stay as selected in windows mouse pointer configuration settings. It reverts to a gray box with a black border, blue up-down arrow in the upper right corner, and a portion of a finger in the lower right corner. I can't find a cursor file that is associated with this stubborn cursor, and I need to find out what the file is that is associated with this so I can DELETE it.

I was trying to edit my PATH environment variable and accidentally deleted it. Is there any way to recover it? If not, is there anyone out there who can tell me what the default path variable should be? I'm afraid to turn off my computer without fixing this as I'm not sure if it will be able to boot up again.

I was doing some programming for school and then the IDE stopped working and so did Windows, itself, but I had to get somewhere, so i forced myself to pull my 1 GB usb drive out without safely removing it. Still it was acting weird, so I just shut it down. Now I put the usb back in, and apparently I have to format it. I don't want to because I didn't back up recent work but eventually I had to choose to format it.
Initially when I went to format it, the format size was still at "0.98 GB" but now, it changed to "8 MB" even if I try to format it at 8 MB. Quick format provides a "Windows was unable to complete the format". Normal format provides a similar error. Diskmgmt formatting provides a similar error.
I never had a problem like this before (even when pulling out drives at time when it failed to respond) but I would still like to utilize the usb. Is there a way that i can retrieve the 1 GB back?
I'm not sure what the issue is but I can go in and change the mouse cursors and everything works until I restart the computer. Then it immediately reverts back to the default Windows 7 Aero cursor. When I go back in the cursors settings it has my settings listed but I have to hit "Ok" and then it's fine again.

Im setting up a batch file to run some adb commands on my android phone. I want to run a command and store the result into a variable for later use in the batch file.
Example command: adb shell getprop ro.product.brand
That command outputs the brand of the device e.g. samsung. I want to capture that without displaying it into a variable that will be used later on in the script. I have the 3 adb files coped over to the scripts location so that it will run natively.

I want to set up a server using java on my new computer that I built, but my computer doesn't recognize any Java commands even though I re-installed it twice. SO I looked at Java's tutorial, but they did not mention the location of the class or were to find the location of the class. I
I was trying to download a trial of adobe photo shop to do my homework and i am on my moms laptop. i went to open the program and a dialog box popped up asking what program i wanted to use to open this file, (i didnt notice the checked box at the time stating it was going to use this option for all files associated with this extension!) and the only available program that was listed was WINDOWS MEDIA CENTER and i needed to use the program so i clicked on it.... wish i wouldnt have. it changed ALL my .exe programs ie; google,firefox,system restore and now anytime i try to run anything the media center comes up!!
I have seen on the web that several other people have done the same exact thing. I was freaking out cause this is not my computer and so i went to accounts and made a new admin desktop, which is what i am on now. i have found involves doing something on the actual desktop that is messed up. but i cannot open any executable files on that desktop ie;command prompt,so i cannot do anything on there.
i know there has to be some way to reverse what i did, i just need someone to walk me through the process so i dont screw the computer up any more than i already have, i am able to open system restore in the new desktop, i but dont think that will have any affect on the change i made let alone have an effect on the other desktop from this desktop. I also went to the place on the desktop to change the default for programs and .exe is not listed.
I would like to make a change in the view of Windows Explorer (not IE) in Windows 7 OS. I click on View and then Choose Detail and choose Date. That changes what I see in the Contents Pane. I can see the Date of the files. But, when I change to a different folder, I have to do it all over again. How can I make this change permanent?
This is a very useful graphic viewing program, no longer in production, but which works fine under Windows 7. The problem is that setting it up requires the program to write some things to the registry, which apparently is being blocked, so I have to go through the settings every time I load it. In Vista I could make the settings permanent by switching User controls off while I set the program up. With Windows 7 I find that even with it set to minimum, Ember can't write the values.
I deleted it and put in C:Program FilesJavajdk1.7.0_10in; I have been having problems. I have a Windows 7 64-bit machine, and need to replace the file path.
I am using 3 external hard drives and noticed a couple of times there drive letters have changed. Maybe I have had them unplugged for some reason I cannot remember, but it causes confusion with some files that use shortcuts. I would like to know if it is possible to give the drives permanent drive letters also change there names?
What is going wrong after soundtrack or music has been added and the clip saved?requently music playback in the files converted from a number of formats ( obv. to wmv) is dodgy, choppy or simply not capable of being listened to. Obviously I am at fault. What is being done incorrectly> Windows 7 ultimate 32 bit (warranted no emoticons)
In UNIX, for changing the directory path, there is "cd" command. .This works fine in windows 7 too.. But the problem comes when we are trying to change the path using environment variables. .
In UNIX, cd $JAVA_HOME changes the path to the value set for JAVA_HOME,
Similarly is there any command in Windows which does the trick from command prompt for changing path using Environment variables. .
I installed WinXP-mode to regain the use of a scanner for which there are no Windows 7 drivers; and then I found I could continue using Outlook Express as my email client. I also discovered that dragging items from one desktop to another is NOT possible; BUT from WinXP, I can 'look into' the Windows 7 system. So I created a folder in the root of Windows 7 as a 'clearing house' for file exchange between Windows 7 and WinXP. For convenience, I put a shortcut to that folder on the WinXP desktop. Sad to say, its viability lasts only for the session. When the Windows 7 PC shuts down, the link to that shortcut is broken. Is there a way to make it permanent?
Is possible to become permanent NT Authority/SYSTEM or other nt authority user? I think nt authority is something like domain and by hacks there are ways to be system but not permanent.
