I have a Lenovo Ideapad s510p running original Windows 8.1. Bought it in May'14. The problem is that it's not able to find & run some bat & exe files given in the '%Path'. Whereas it can find some - it can't find some others. So it doesn't run them unless full path is specified. This is a big...

Ok, to cut to the chase I accidentally changed the default program to open .bat files to note pad. How would I change it back so it would execute the command?

My colleges' computers reset themselves every night, so we are allowed to install programs and change files & settings at will, because the changes revert on shutdown. I'm trying to create a batch file I can run to copy all the files I use & install the programs I use, I haven't gotten to the...

Greetings :-) I am new here and new to W7. I have recently moved from XP to W7. The installing of W7 was impressively slick and self-sufficient. I thought it was going to be bliss. Then I actually started to use it. I was shocked to find that the folders behave completely differently than in...

I want to place some .bat shortcuts in the start menu. Not in Programs, but in the first area with no folders. I know that you can click on "Pin to Start Menu" to do this. However, with a batch file or its shortcut, this option is not available. So, either I have to find a folder, or a reg...
