Apps :: Doesn't Open Through A Batch File

Dec 8, 2015

I have a desktop running with a few apps 24/7 feeding to a network, on the rare occasion it drops or restarts due to some update or power outage I thought I could write a simple batchfile just to restart everything automatically.

Problem is 1 app refuses to start, the app itself is in c:program files (x86) and that seems to be the issue. Error message I get is "cannot find c:program"

path for the app is...

C:Program Files (x86)COAAPlanePlotterPlanePlotter.exe

the other 2 apps open fine (but they are not pathed to (x86). am I going daft or missed something simple?

(Win 10 64 bit all updted)

Batch File Won't Open Programs

Nov 10, 2015

I am trying to make a batch file that will run multiple programs at once.

No matter what I do I can't get a batch file to open anything. I have tried a wide variety of programs and command formats. In every instance, the CMD window flashes on screen, and will not stay open even if I end my batch with "Pause".

I even checked Window's file extensions (per another thread on here) to ensure that batch files are properly unassociated.

After trying a wide variety of things, I have stripped my test batch file down to this code:

@echo off

START C:WindowsNOTEPAD.EXE

pause

Why I can't get this to work. Oh, and yes I have tried running the batch file as administrator.

I had written and saved the text in Word and then changed the file type to .bat. Creating it in Notepad totally fixed that issue.

Apps :: Start Program From A Batch File

Aug 19, 2015

I'm trying to create a batch file that should

- call another batch file
- start a program and then wait for the program to close
- call another batch file

My goal with this is to work around an issue in Windows 10 where the screensaver won't work when I have my game controllers connected. I already created two batch files where one of them enables my game controllers and the other one disables them. Both these batch files work just fine.

However I now want to create a third batch file that will do what listed above - first call the batch file that will enable my game controllers, then start my program which is an executable and then after I exited out of the program the batch file that will disable my game controllers should be called.

Here's what I've tried but this doesn't work, it will only run the first batch file enabling my game controllers.

Code:
"c:utilGame controllers - Enable.cmd"start "P:Program Files (x86)Lockheed MartinPrepar3D v2Prepar3D.exe""c:utilGame controllers - Disable.cmd"

Unable To Run Batch File At Startup

Jan 17, 2016

I am trying to run a batch file with these contents:

Code:
ECHO OFFTIMEOUT /T 2 /NOBREAKDisplaySwitch.exe /internalTIMEOUT /T 2 /NOBREAKDisplaySwitch.exe /external

I've tried putting a shortcut to it in the startup folder, putting the bat itself in the startup folder, and running it as a task using task scheduler. I also have UAC completely disabled. It runs fine when I run it myself, but it won't run at startup. How can I get to run when I start the computer?

Write Batch File To Control UAC

( do you want to allow this app to make changes to your pc ( yes ) ( no )). And we all know the pros and cons of disabling the UAC. Wouldn't it be good if the Yes Box was automatically Clicked for you. All we need is some type of Batch File that would specifically watch for that Message and Answer it for you. Or maybe hidden deep within the registry it may be possible Tick the right Box to do it for us. Looking for some Positive Answers.???

Batch File For Deleting Temporary Files

Mar 26, 2016

I've just made a very simple batch file for cleaning my temp folder. I've put the .bat file in my startup folder so it would clean TEMP when i log in. I've wrote down the following lines:

rd D:TEMP /s /q
md D:TEMP

As i said, very simple. But the problem is that it is not working. I also think i know why; there are files and folders in the temporary folder that are in use so the batch file can't delete them.

Apps :: Portable Apps File Association / Open With

Dec 17, 2015

Looks like another annoyance (don't get me wrong, i'm not a 10 hater ) : when i do "open with" and select a portable app, nothing happens :/ Also if in the portable app i tick options such as "show context menu", this won't take effect. All that worked fine on 7.

I dunno for 8.1 but i guess it's same as 10? Anyways, is there a workaround? Can't live without that! Another thing : the great"types.exe" app that we all use(d) on 7 doesn't work here, is there an alternative or not yet? Perhaps it's just not possible at all to have such....

Apps :: Able To Change File Open With?

Mar 5, 2016

I have windows 10 and somehow mobi files are opening with notepad. Of course they do not read in there but I have a free ebook site in which I want to know if they too have to open with notepad. I managed to repair the extension but not the icon. Can that be done? Also it really annoys me that it appears on the default menu and matched up to notepad there and that also cannot be changed . Is there a registry tweak I can apply to get it back to the way it was?

Apps :: Disable How To Want To Open This File

Feb 10, 2016

On every computer I've installed Windows 10 on (a dozen+) despite me setting all my default file types and applications, the first time a specific file type in opened, it still asks if I want to use this program. I've attached a picture of the first time I'm trying to open a MOV file.

Like I said, I've already specified that it should open with VLC, but it still asks anyways. I've tried this through Settings and Control Panel but it still doesn't work.

In the picture it does say iTunes is a new application, which I know would probably make this happen, but even without a new application being installed after setting my default file types, it still happens. Once I get through this screen it won't ever come up for MOV files again, but it will if I opened an MP4, and nearly any other file type on the computer. It doesn't usually happen with anything besides media files, but ANY picture; movie or audio file will do this (among several random others). This happens on EVERY Windows 10 I install, and I'm tired of having to keep two dozen dummy files and opening them all to disable this message on each computer. Is their a way I can prevent this message from coming up.

Apps :: Drag N Drop File On Top Of Quicklaunch Icons Doesn't Work Anymore

Nov 2, 2015

I'm used to run files by drag'n'dropping them on top of one of the icons in quicklaunch. When I need to launch file with some app, while file is associated with another, or just use the other version of app. E.g. drag and drop png file on Paint icon or Photoshop icon, whether i need to edit it with on or another.

But now, when I drag a file of top of app in quicklaunch, icon turns to striked circle (). At the same time (what frustrates me even more), I can add a file/shortcut to qucklaunch by dragging it on the empty space (or between apps' shortcuts).

I have Windows 10 and everything was working just some time ago.

Apps :: Excel Icon On Taskbar Does Not Open File - Only Program?

Feb 10, 2016

I've been running Windows 10 since last August, after upgrading from Win 8.1 on my Asus laptop.

I use the taskbar (launchbar?) to start my favourite programs, such as Excel, and some 8-10 files are stacked on the icon so I can right-click the icon and select/open my desired file.

That was until approximately 10 days ago, when clicking on a file name only opened Excel, and I have to do a file/open within Excel to get the file I want open. Other programs that are also on the bar e.g. my PDF program, still opens the file name I click on.

Copying File To Desktop - System Has File Open?

Aug 5, 2015

I'm trying to copy a ripped movie file (iso) from my G drive to desktop. The file is 45GB. It gets to 99% then a message comes up saying the process can't complete because the System has the file open. I have nothing running and can't find anything where the System is accessing/linking to this file.

I thought it might be a permissions issue, so I wanted to download the Reg edit to add a "take ownership" command but the TenFourms link is not working. Take Ownership - Add to Context Menu in Windows 10 <<<< won't open web page.

I ran sfc /scannow and there are some errors reported that could not be fixed. There is a CBS.log file but I have not looked at it yet.

I also ran the DISM /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth (I forget the full command line now) and it came back saying it could not find the files "online".

File Explorer Slow To Open Or Will Not Open

Oct 16, 2015

Quite often (60% of the time) clicking on Windows Explorer results in no action whether from the tool bar or from the Windows screen for a very long period of time. There is nothing showing to determine if there is a background program causing Explorer to wait. When it eventually opens, more than one screen comes up because the impatient among us have clicked more than once (personal problem). I often start by going to Explorer for a file I was working on so this is a real pain.
