What you see there is a character encoding issue. Somehow the resulting file was created with the byte order mark (bom) of 'UTF-16 LE' (which could happen for various reasons). Then the reg file was appended. Save the text into a file using encoding 'UTF-16 LE'. Then open it within a hex-editor. Del...

In case your computer runs on the "pro", "enterprise" or "educational" version of windows 10 (probably the same under Windows 11), then you may use "msg" or "net send ..." commands to send messages to computers in your local network: msg /SERVER:DestinationPC * /TIME:60 "Sample message to pc 'Destin...

Though i like Aacini's version, it is not completely safe (for example if you change the codepage of the source-xml).
Here is an example for how to read and process xml using jscript (in the hybrid "xslt.bat") in a safe way:

Is there information about why FOR treats space characters as commands instead of ignoring them? It deviates from default behavior imo. It is the default behaviour: If you escape a character (using the circumflex-character '^'), or add characters when the interpreter expects text starting with esca...

That's not "nothing" - it's a space-character. Since the space-character is no valid command, the error message is correct. Typically space characters are treated as whitespace characters and will not end up beeing treated as a command. But you can force cmd to treat the space-character as a command...

You could store the filename into an environment variable and then check the length of that string using the :strlen-function.

Just a small sidenote to the net-approach:
The net command (at least under windows 10) does support the switches PAUSE and CONTINUE (to pause and resume a task).
You don't need to terminate and (re)start the process (using STOP and START).

You should copy your files to a temporary folder (preferably on the same volume) and then move them to the final location.

I can't check myself (since i I have no Win11), So i can list only two potential issues i see ad hoc: Microsoft might have changed the GUID of the power plans. You could compare the GUID used in "ChangePowerPlan.reg" with the GUID listed by following command: powercfg.exe /L If there was a change, t...

I don't remember any driver named "AHCI.SYS", but i think i remember one named "AHCICD.SYS", so no guarantees for the following: If i remember right, then the "AHCICD.SYS" has an optional parameter "/C:<#AHCI-Controller>", where "<#AHCI-Controller>" is a digit from 0 to 9. If you leave out that para...

I am not familiar with NAS-devices, so the following idea might or might not be possible; typically when you want to send the same data to multiple recipients simultaneously, you would use broadcast (send to all nodes in the network) or multicast (send to multiple nodes in a network) in order to red...

I would expect such a result if your source files to not contain line endings at all or no line endings of the form "\r\n" (in hex "0D 0A"). On the other hand, that should have been preserved in your resulting files, which show the (windows) endline. Do you have opened and saved the resulting files ...

I only added a debug output, so you can see whether or not the error message is misleading.
I didn't change the program logic.

You should test, whether or not the error text really is misleading. Since the buffer is set first, it might be smaller than the actual window size at that point: powershell.exe -noprofile -command "&{Write-Host "initial WindowSize $(get-host).UI.RawUI.WindowSize"; $w=(get-host).ui.rawui;$w.buffersi...
