batch file

First off, hello everyone! Thank you for reading my first post. :D The place I worked at runs heavily on batch file. Its crazy. I have never seen a setup like this before. Anyway, we have an in house program made in magic that sends labels to a dot matrix printer via a batch file. This...

Sorry for the less but optimal title for this, but I can't describe it any better. The root of the issue is that i am running Pisg. a stats generator for mIRC on my windows 7 machine. At the beginning I ran the program that parses the files manually and uploaded the files manually. But in the...

I'm running Win7 Home Premium and one of the features not in this edition is the group policies...... Which I need. I've checked out the registry spreadsheets but to no avail. I'm trying to get a batch file to run at system shutdown. Here is exactly what i need to do, but in registry form...

I have a script (basic batch file) that launces 30 different kd windows and I want to have them tile on the desktop (or stack in win 7 terms) once they have all launched. Is there a command to do this or some kind of script? Those 30 windows will be the only ones open on the desktop.

So, I just got Windows 7, and I love it more than I love Linux. I think it was the ads for it. -.- When I had XP, I learned how to make simple batch files. nothing major, just something to bid my time while in class. I just mastered the "IF" command, and now I want to try and see if I...

When You first set up Windows 7, in their infinite wisdom, Microsoft has installed every font/language under the sun (bar one, I'll come back to that later!!). This means that if you are using an English** language PC with the relative keyboards etc., approximately 70% of the fonts you have...

I made these droplets, actions and png files to quickly create a merged png file that could then be converted to icons using any Icon Editor that runs batch conversions (e.g. IconWorkshop, IcoFX). Sadly, I've yet to find a decent icon converter for Photoshop. That would make life too easy!! But...

Hello everyone, I am having issues deleting what seems to be a bad file. Last night I downloaded a licensed program file for a software called Revit from Autodesk. Essentially this is a licensed file, and it is a 3D object for an architectural model. My problem is that I cannot, delete, move...

Hi, a while ago a system tools type package changed my default program for opening .bat files. I have tried lots of things to fix this but my system simply cannot execute .bat files. I converted one of my .bat files to exe to see if it works so there isnt anything wrong with the files...

Can I get a list of commands I can use in a command prompt, please?

I'm looking for a recommendation for a good simple MP3 tag editor, free would also be nice but if it's worth the purchase price, then I would buy it without hesitation. In the past I've used a product called TigoTago, which worked great on XP, but seems to be a bit buggy on Win7 64bit Ultimate...

Right clicking on a file icon in "my computer" and choosing "properties/details" reveals a considerable number of fields - "author", "copyright", "title" etc. These can all be edited individually, but how can I update a folder containing perhaps as many as a hundred files in one go? I would...

Hi I have asked about changing the Windows 7 Start UP Sound in the past and found it impossible to do. I can't change it or find the Windows one so that I can substitute my own for it. What I'm wondering is if after disabling the standard startup sound is there a way to write a .bat file or...

I have just installed a set of PERL programs that are invoked from batch files and the are passed a parameter line from the the batch script. They worked fine under XP but it appears altho the perl scripts work - they do not get the parameters. Has win7 changed the way batch files work?

Link Removed due to 404 Error The Vfapi Codec is an old Frameserver that is used in video encoding. It hasn't been updated for years but under older OS's has served its purposes flawlessly. Now with Win7 I can open and run the program with compatibility mode and make Vfapi files. However, I...
