Re: making the Windows mouse cursor temporarily dissappear?
I would think the software would do it automatically. Batch cannot hide a mouse cursor directly. As a work-around, you might try writing a script which modifies the file that binds that mouse state to that cursor icon, and changing it to something blank (same as using the control panel utility would...

Re: How to send a message to other computers of the LAN?
net send /? I'm not sure but the required service may be disabled or made LAN only. I remember early versions of Windows XP had the messenging service enabled by default, and users would receive spam from bots broadcasting crap to wide IP address ranges. I think it also allowed a security hole for ...

Re: Piped input and output to a batch file
Sorry, you're right about piping specifically, but your code echoes the file names with the prefix and suffix (not modifying the contents). What I mean is, it's possible to do what he asked using batch. Jason, your code is a little wonky so I'll post a complete solution. This will overwrite your inp...

Re: Copy file with specific extension if it is equal to toda
I would help more, but please do some manual research. http://ss64.com/nt/xcopy.html
Type this into the console.
xcopy /?
What you're looking for is the /d switch, among others.

Re: Get last string after delimiter FOR /F
The above works for backslash as a delimiter, but the following works for whatever else: call :getlasttoken "what#is#the#last#token" echo %lasttoken% pause exit :getlasttoken set "check=%~1" :loop if defined check ( for /f "delims=# tokens=1*" %%x in ("%check%"...

Re: why is this FOR doing this?
I would recommend undoing any registry changes and removing the initialization batch, and instead load command prompt using a script. start cmd /k cd /d "C:\" Personally I put single letter scripts into my user directory, so I just type x or y or z to initialize different settings. This co...
