Need Some Batch Files Information
Apr 19, 2007
I am trying to setup a small program so that I can login to client computers across the internet, using winvnc.I am trying to write a batch file that will start the program and then issue a command to the program to tell it what to connect to.My problem is that the program comes up and then the batch file just stops, it does not goto the next line until the program is closed.What do I need to enter to force it to read the next line without having to close the program? simple little batch file will read as follows.

I want to delete all the files in some of my directories before I do backups of my office PCs.To do this I'd like to use a batch file. I've tried one with these commands but it fails.I hope to add other directories once I get this working (ie. Recent).

I am trying to write a batch file that would make a specific program a default over Windows Picture and Fax viewer.Reading on other forums, I've input the following into Notepad:ftype jpegfile="C:Program FilesNeroNero 7Nero PhotoSnapPhotoSnap.exe" "%1" When I right-click on any .jpg file after that, under properties, I see that Nero PhotoSnap is now the default program, but when I open the file it opens in Windows Picture and Fax viewer still.What am I doing wrong? Do I need to add registry changes to complete this process?

I have Windows XP SP2 and all the updates. I have recently been fooling around with Batch files. I have been having problems with them not running the command. What happens is I will have a correct command set up in the batch file but when i run it a cmd window opens and the command it is supposed to run continously repeats the command over and over. The command function never actually initiats anything.nothing ever runs from the batch file command. It will just keep repeating for ever and ever untill i close it. Now here is the thing. If i rename the batch file or move it from where i was editing it to another folder it will run just fine. But see the issue is. I dont want have to rename it or move it. I want it to just run like it is supposed to.

I've been trying to get something working with batch files and been running into a problem with env variables. First off, I have a batch file which is launched by cruisecontrol and this batch file would set a couple environment variables. then it will call a second batch file which would setup some more environment variables and exit.

I'm trying to write a batch file that will copy files from a folder on the desktop to various files on the C drive. From what I understand it should be like this: copy c:documents and settings\%userprofile%desktopinstallfilename.txt c:windowsfilename.txt
with %userprofile% in place of the actual user profile name because it will be different each time I run this batch file.This, however, is not working.

I'm running Win XP Pro SP 3, I have a file that I periodically copy to several different computers on a LAN. The exact destinations of the file change occasionally and I want to minimize the amount of maintenance involved when there is a change.
In the folder containing the file I have a shortcut to each of the destination drives. When one of the destination folders changes I update the shortcut in that folder.
If I drag the file to each of the shortcuts using the right mouse button one of the options is to copy the file to the target of the shortcut, so one way to copy the file is to manually drag it to each shortcut. Is it possible to achieve similar functionality with a batch file? It is easy enough to write a batch file that copies the files to each destination by coding the destinations into the batch file but is it possible to use a batch file to copy the file to the target of each shortcut? I suspect that parsing the .lnk files is complex but I don't know if there is another way to do this.

I was wondering if you gurus can give me some direction.I run a Specials Menu on a large LCD TV at a restaurant using powerpoint. There are two specials files (lunch.pps and dinner.pps)When this system reboots, i want a batch file to determine which powerpoint file to open based on what time it is.ON BOOTUP: For instance, if it's anywhere between 11am and 3pm, open the lunch file. If its any other time, run the dinner.pps file. Make sense?
Im already running a scheduled tasks application that shuts down one and starts up the other based on what time. This works very well. Problem is, i frequently Remote Desktop into this machine and make changes. Once those changes are made, i have to reboot the system. I then want this batch file to start the appropriate presentation since the scheduled task application only works when it sees 11am or 3pm (as in the example above)I figured since you can determine time and date within a batch file, can't you do an if /then/else type script within a batch? (if its *this time* then load THIS application)

I have a batch file which copies key folders and files between hard disks - It would seem that although it will accept only truncated folder and file names (e.g. progra~1) for the source, sub folder and file names are written to the target drive full length. Am I right in thinking that source names have to be written in the truncated form (after all it is, basically a DOS command)? if not how can this be done?

I'm searching for a good solution of archiving scanned documents. The problem: Recently we bought a new copy-machine from toshiba. It includes the feature of scanning a bunch of documents on its own harddisk. To keep up a structure (Law-firm) we give the files structured names: {casenumber}{client}{typeofdoc}{dateofdoc}.pdf
So, by now we created a structured list of files in the scan-folder of the machine. The next step is to move the files into subfolders on a different pc. These subfolders have 6 digits, simply the case numbers. It should be very easy for a program to move these files paying attention to the case number and sorting them into the right case folders..................

To rename a group of files or folders in WinXP, open the explorer folder that contains the files and do the following:
(be careful not to include any critical windows system files or folders when applying this technique. back up with system restore first if you're not sure. also, it only makes sense to apply it to files of the same type.)
1. Highlight the files and/or folders to be renamed (remember to hold down the CTRL key to select non-adjacent files); or hold CTRL-A to select all the files and folders in a given folder
2. Let the mouse hover over the file that you wish to be the first in the series

I am an old school PC user, since the days of old DOS. Back in the day, I used to make batch files and put calls into the autoexec.bat file to run them. Being the computer guru I am, I tried to show that to a friend of mine, but it didn't work!After a bunch of headache and heart break I realized the autoexec.bat file doesn't get called in WinXP. But there's an autoexec.nt file in the system32 folder! However that only gets run when you open CMD. I found a solution about installing a service called AutoExNT, which worked, but too late. The batch file I am trying to run needs to be run BEFORE I even get a logon prompt. It needs to be run either during or before the Windows XP logo load screen shows up. I tried the Win.ini file, I tried making a

I have a batch file (.bat) & how do I know if it's running or not? When I double click on the .bat file, it opens a second file. With no specified extension, in properties it is just a "FILE". So does that mean it is running or not?

I have a exe file in the Folder call FChart 4.0.1. I would like to write the batch script to check if FChart.exe exists in the FChart 4.0.1 folder then copy it to specified folder. NOTE: the issue is that I would like to have it generic therefore I want to avoid 4.0.1 and only look for FChart folder and then file inside. I've written script but it doesnt work and its not generating any error as well.

I'm trying to develop a batch script for getting photos off of an attached media card, into a directory in numerical order, with the directory being the current date. Each file would have that date and a three digit number (/6-7-08/6-7-08 000.jpg).The only reason I am keeping it as a batch script is because it needs to be able to run with one file, one click and no installation. I'm a little out of my element (I tried writing a batch script in PHP syntax, it didn't work too well).

Code: C:Program Files3 Mobile Broardband3ConnectWilogApp.exeThat opens up the application and automatically connects to the internet.
The next bit I will need it to pause there for around 65 seconds, Then I need it to do the following command;
