I have just created a batch file to backup a few things on my machine, the thing is the batch file has a menu in it and i was wondering if i was to set the batch file to run under task scheduler say once a week is there a way i can get it to excute through the menu of the batch file? if not when the task scheduler runs it, it will just stay a point waiting for me to press enter.
View 9 RepliesSo I am trying to create a batch file that will copy certain folders from the My Documents and Program Files 86 folders. Of course these are protected. I can make a batch file and use robocopy to copy other files just fine. How can I set admin privileges? Or whatever it is I need to do to make it work? I am using group policy editor to run the bat file on shutdown.
Example:
Robocopy C:Folder D:Folder
that works fine...but when I try copying files out of Program Files x86 or My Documents the batch fails
Is there a way I can create a batch file so de-fragment my hard drive, once that has finished, backup to an external hard drive, and then one that has finished shut down the PC?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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 1 Replies View RelatedI've just recently realized that copying folders to a backup hard drive resets their "created" date. Should my computer ever crash, all my backup files will state to have just been created on that certain date. Me, being the organize-freak I am, have been looking for a solution so my backed up files can have the same time stamps as on my computer right now. I've done a little searching, and have found that people always recommend Robocopy. Problem is, I can't understand a word of the tutorials. How to run Robocopy to carry out what I want? And also just for the heck of it, is Robocopy the only solution? Is there some sort of back up program on Windows 7 that can do that?

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.

I've created a slideshow file, using FastStone Image Viewer 4.3, and pictures I took myself in our back yard. The file is *.exe and self-executes correctly on my computer. I've scanned it with MSE and it's clean and virus-free.I want to send it to our daughter, using my Hotmail account, as a normal attachment to a normal email msg. But Hotmail blocks it completely since it's an executable file type.So I tried to just rename a copy of it on my hard drive, first, to *.txt. But when I select the *.exe filename and then click Rename, I can't seem to get access to the extension part of the current file name; the exe after the dot. So is there a way I can change the file type in windows from "application" to a type Hotmail so windows won't block as an email attachment? Then tell the recipient to change it back to *.exe on her end?
View 2 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:
start �Maxivista� /d �C:Program FilesMaxiVista Pro ServerMaxiVistaAll.exe"
start �Netbeans� /d "R:Program FilesNetBeans 6.9.1in
etbeans.exe"
start �OfficeTime� /d "C:Program Files (x86)OfficeTimeOfficeTime.exe"
Start "WampServer" /d "R:wampwampmanager.exe"
[code]....
I've tried setting it to run as Admin, but the check-box is greyed out....
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
