I am trying to set up a batch file in win 2k that will delete all the files in the temp internet files folder, cookies, history, winnt temp folder and so on but I am having a problem, unlike the old system 98 and ME it doesn?t want to accept the paths to the directories.I have tried the following paths but no go.Mydocu~1defaul~!cookies*.
I`m new around here and I have been given a task to update multiple computers with Microsoft updates offline. the updates will be sorted on a network drive. how do I create the bat file. if its possible to get the whole script on how to do that
I am posting here because after doing the usual in this situation, it didn't work.
Here's the deal: I am running Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2.
I recently had a virus that took control of every exe file. I spent yesterday destroying that mess and trying to get my virus scanner and malware detection to work again. I did. Once I was up and running, full scans turned up a variety of corrupted system files. I'm not sure how deep it goes but my first and most obvious problem is I have a login/logoff cycle.
so every time I log in to windows xp pro the system starts to load the user settings background and startup programs then I get a message that the system can't load one of the startup programs because the system is shutting down. then the system completely shuts off.After an exhaustive search online I found the recovery/copy userinit.exe wsaupdater.exe fix and tried that but I still get the auto logoff. I've tried repairing the installation using the OEM CD, but that only works for the first login. after that, same issue. I've run antivirus and spyware apps to check the system, but found nothing (I did this inbetween repairs). After 6 times of going through this I'm ready to reinstall from scratch. It just annoys me that windows can break so easily. Did I meniton I hate windows? Anything you could suggest, would be appreciated. I wait to here from someone in the forum before tackling such a HUGE project as to reinstall Windows and all my programs and data.
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 am using a POWER USER account, Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 /w all the latest patches availible via microsoft update. I was trying to create a .zip file of a folder within the primary directroy of a backup hard drive I use.
For Example: D:stuff - I wanted to make a zipfile of the folder "stuff."
Then I get the following error "Cannot Create Output File."
However, if I move the folder to the destop or a subdirectory i.e. stuff/more stuff, then the .zip file is created with no problems.
Also, because user accounts [at least in my experience] have a tendency to decay, I created a freash power user account and the same problem persist.
Is this a standard security feature for power user accounts? Is there anyway I can "disable" it if it is?
I need to create a batch file to resolve a backup issue I'm having. I need a batch file to run before and after backup to correct the issue between Veritas and Backup Exec.http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/275013.htm
My company just migrated from Novell to Active Directory. I am new to Windows. I am the local LAN Administrator. I am told to create 2 short cuts as follows: http://www.somewhere.com/home and a mapped shared drive: \some thing my folder and put these two shortcuts on the Human HResource Users' desktop when they login. I am thinking about creating a Human Resource Desktop group so that when someone who is assigned to this group would get the two shortcuts. Since I am new to Windows, I don't know how to do this. Please advice. Much appreciated.
What I want to do is create a .bat that will copy a file to several locations(all within the same folder, however with different names).
I have a folder that contains the master copy of my db and I want to run the batch file to update the users db files. The reason being is they each use thier own front end.
I run a specific batch file at startup that attempts to copy a file to lace one that is under control of a running program. I get the messageThe process cannot access the file because it is being used by anotherprocess."How do I successfully write the file? I know that the way you are supposed to do it is to close the program, make the transfer then restart the program. But how do you do that when you don't know the programand you don't know how it starts in the first place.
In recently restoring my crashed machine, I noticed that when the machine was idle, it would go back to the user login screen. I found this tedious as I just wanted it to go to screen saver but stay within the user session. I ran 'control userpasswords2' and de-clicked 'Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer.' (It's a home computer so not worried). Now when I reboot, it brings up a Windows login for Administrator and says, "Unable to log you on because of an account restriction." I can bypass that and log in as Owner or anybody else so it's more cosmetic than anything else.Question - who is this "Administrator?" The account doesn't show up under User Accounts. 'Owner' is the Administrator. Do I care about this account (which appears to be hidden? Should I allow it to log in under the covers? If so, do I have to re-click 'Users must enter a user name and password, etc."
Can anybody tell me how to add the user account logon information?
Specifically, When on the Logon Screen there is information pertaining to the Users Unread Email Information. I have changed to a new email address (because of SPAM). I would like to activate so it sees the new email account and reflects accurate number of unread messages. (I have been helped by someone earlier to remove the old email info...but need help to put on the new info.) Any suggestions?
I'm formatting and doing a clean install of XP Pro for a friend on her computer. I've saved everything she intends to keep to other partitions to restore or copy back later on; however....
I know that XP stores usernames and passwords someplace within the 'forms' area of the registry and I'm wondering if anybody knows where that would be located so I can extract and save that as well. I believe that by saving all of her online cookies that once brought back to the new install that information should be already embedded for her, is that correct?
I need some kind of program/batch file that will place the current IP address I have dynamic so it changes every two hours in a text file that I have specified. The text file would have to be in this way: I am using graburl to update my host of my location, so I thou ht that I could use graburl to do something like this. If it is not possible to include date and time in the text file it is not completely required. However the latest IP address would have to be at the top of the list not at the bottom This must also happen even if date and time columns are in the list.
Can anybody tell me how to reset the user account logon information?
Specifically, When on the Logon Screen ther is information pertaining to the Users Unread Email Information. I have changed to a new email address (because of SPAM) and it still shows "XXX unread mail messages, x programs running" under a Users name. I would like to change so it sees the new email account and reflects accurate number of unread messages.
Does anyone know as to how many or what percentage of the XP (Home OR Pro) Users create more than One User account. Of course, this excludes the default accounts created by XP (Admin, Guest accounts)
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
My friend and I took both of our old computer and combine them so we could have a small end gaming computer. Previously on the Hardrive was installed Windows 98 but we reformatted the Harddrive and are trying to put Windows Xp on it. We went through the setup with a series of from my HP System Recovery CD's (7 Disc's). Which installs Window's Xp, we went through all 7 CD's and at the very last CD when the installation was about complete it says "Unable to locate/create user partition." I have no idea what this means...and everytime we boot up the computer it just trys to do the Hp System Restore again but only goes as far as the unable to locate/create user partition.I'm not real sure what I should do...or how I can get out of it.but if theres anyway possible just to reformat again since I can't really get out of it can you please tell me how!
I created a batch file to eliminate files on start up, located in the temp. folder, and it is not functioning. When the computer does start up it eventually gets to the black screen showing the batch file with a message in milli-secs than it is gone. How can I stop this screen to see the message. I tried (Pause/Break) but to no avail. Need some guidance. OS XP Home SP2
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.
how do i create a batch file to change the proxy in IE? a batch asking Home or Company is fine. If it is at work, then apply the proxy addresss and port and bypass proxy. Else, turn off proxy.
I am trying to make a batch file that will open the wireless application on my computer and run for a certain amount of time. The information I gathered so far is: When I go into cmd on windows XP and type the following; 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; Code: TSKILL WilogAppTo close the application.
I need to create a user profile on my XP Media Machine I've created one.But was wondering if there's a way I can limit what they do on it? Such as not allowing them to download anything? I'm new to XP and need to have a way to control the other user on my machine.
If i double click the icon on the destop it opens a command window with the message, waits for input, i type a number and press enter and then the same message apears on the following line, i type again, press enter and the same thing happens. It doesn't work. If i enter in Total Commander go to the desktop dir and execute the same batch file. IT IS THE EXACT SAME FILE
I use a batch files for various maintenance stuff.Get this: When the batch file (.bat or .cmd), is in ONE PARTICULAR DIRECTORY, the defrag command in it echos endlessly, but doesn't execute. Even if the batch file contains only just the one line.If the batch file is in any other directory, it works fine. Of course, I keep all my batch files in the same directory ("C:Program FilesBruce"), and I can find nothing anywhere in Windows that should cause this directory to be any different than any other. Addition a few minutes later: Now the simple one-line batch file will sometimes work, sometimes not work, when in other directories. This is weird.
