Those systems should store drivers backups for rollbacks on another location. I don't have access to any of them right now.

Hello Squashman and thanks for the reply, Every Windows OS has a subfolder "ReinstallBackups" for drivers rollback. As time goes and hardware changes this folder can be full of unneeded files. If OS is stable, this folder can be empty. On x86, it is located at %SystemRoot%\system32\Reinsta...

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for a way to retrieve folder location of "ReinstallBackups" and clean it, regardless of OS version: XP, 7, Vista, etc.

Is this possible?

This is a nice solution for the current registry settings, but (many!) leftovers from previous versions can exist without any registry relation.

Each Windows Live Messenger version has his own folders locations and names; so a folder search really must be done.

Hello everyone! I have a script to install a custom Windows Live Messenger after cleaning many data leftovers, eliminating related issues. This script searches for occurrences of folders 'Contacts', 'Windows Live Contacts' and 'MSN Messenger' and deletes them, taking the 'Documents and Settings' as ...

@david, since your internal developer must already have code to recurse into subdirectories and iterate over each set of files, it would only take a tiny extra function for him to handle the rename part. You're right. When he stumbled into this I've told him that some tool could already exist and d...

Hello everyone! http://i.imgur.com/EMaRr.gif I'm looking for a way to rename all files and folders from a given folder (%1), including subfolders. The purpose is to help obfuscate what they are. Names are really unwanted in this scenario. It should work even on +r, +h , +s files and folders. These n...

David just misread the beginning of the explanation about how to create my .exe auxiliary programs: That's true, I was really tired, almost sleeping on the PC http://i.imgur.com/3sigU.gif What is needed is an index at the beginning of that topic so people may quickly browse the auxiliary programs a...

Great!

I was missing the .vbs. It worked perfectly http://i.imgur.com/5h0qs.gif but how could I set a variable with StdDate result on the same batch? Thank you for taking the time to write all those tools. Small, fast, compatible and really helpful. http://i.imgur.com/XtT2V.gif & http://i.imgur.com/f32...

What could be wrong?

Hello everyone! http://i.imgur.com/EMaRr.gif I'm looking for a batch script that would schedule a task to start 40 days from now (so, it is a relative date). It should be language independent and compatible with XP/Vista/2008/7, x86 and x64. Any help would be greatly appreciated! http://i.imgur.com/...
