Re: type file dont change??

Be sure you are selecting the correct location of the notepad++.exe file. On my system at least, the path is: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\notepad++.exe"

Re: Hardawre Profile script has messy output

WMIC has several output formats. For example: wmic baseboard list /format:value You can replace the word "value" with several other options, like htable. To see a list of potential formats, use this command: wmic baseboard list /format /? This site has some good information: https://petri.com/comman...

Re: Moving backed-up files to a folder named by date.

The %date% and %time% variables are going to be locale and language specific. For reliability across systems, it is better to use WMIC. You can find several posts on this forum. Here is one example from Steffan (aGerman):

Re: Capture variable in parallel

You are using the START command which means that your command runs in a child process. Updates of the child environment have no influence to the parent environment. Steffen Got it. Thank you. Do you have an alternate recommended method to run a command to capture a variable in parallel to the main ...

Hello Folks. I've been reading various threads, but I haven't been able to achieve what I'm trying to do. I'm capturing various system properties as variables in a script. In this process, I am attempting to capture the level of fragmentation of the system drive. However, the defrag command is a bit...

Re: Obfuscate code.

One way to do this is through the use of iexpress.exe from the %__APPDIR__% folder. With this utility, you can convert .bat files to .exe and thus obfuscate the code.

Re: Simple Counter Issue

I see that your code included the /F flag which also listed the DisplayName_Localized items. However, while this code generates a count of the items from the registry, it does not also output that list to a text document in the same for for loop as was my original intent.

Re: Creating a script to gather PC information - to assist those asking for help

I noticed one small glitch on line 129:

Code: Select all

if not defined OEMCP for /f "tokens=*" %%i in ('%chcp%') do for %%j in (%%j) do set "OEMCP=%%~nj"
Shouldn't that be (%%i) as in:

Code: Select all

if not defined OEMCP for /f "tokens=*" %%i in ('%chcp%') do for %%j in (%%i) do set "OEMCP=%%~nj"
