This site has proved invaluable. Kudos — and keep up the good work. Now is there any way to set a short cut icon directly for that command?
I understand that we can set a short cut icon for cmd prompt, but I dont know how to set a shortcut directly for a specific command.. When I open a shortcut, say to run eclipse, Windows always opens a cmd window to launch the app, and the window always hangs around. But it would be nice if the shortcut window would immediately close after it launches the app. Is this something I can control?
I have never noticed this behavior yet. Give me more information: How did you create these shortcuts? I was always waiting for windows to prompt me to clean up my temp files, etc. That one simple command in your list:. Do you know of a way to have your run history go with you to another pc? Im a network tech and I use a variety of commands all the time, I hate having to retype them each time on a computer I have never been to or that has had the history erased.
I want to make it where it comes with me to whatever PC i am on in the network. I know that I can export the reg file for RunMRU and i can merge it successfully to another pc but I want a logon script or something that does it for me.
I would appreciate any help in this matter, btw matej this is a wonderful thing you have done here and I for one appreciate it a lot. I use many of these cmds but i use WMIC cmds most often. You can try to write your own script. Here are some examples how can you work with registry items through VBScript language. You can also try to import your exported RunMRU key via network. Thanks matej I will look into the connect network reg option but I will probably have to do this manually for each PC i log into since I dont know from moment to moment which PC i will be working on.
Thanks for the response. Do you know the command to put at the end of a shortcut I create so that it automatically enters the password without stopping for me to do it.
If you find password parameter then you can execute the program with it and your password. When we delete any data from the recycle bin it can be revered by data recovery, I want to delete it permanent using run command. Hi,very good and useful shortcuts. And i have a small question, shall all these shortcuts work in windows7? Dear matej sir, In windows XP Turn off option sometimes gets changed like shutdown. The login window asking you to fill administrator password is probably fake.
I would run antivirus software in your place. Re Riyazul on 14th September. I get that box on resuming from hibernation, telling me my user name is locked and to put the password in. But I have no start-up passwords and clicking OK lets the computer continue. I just put up with it.
One more hit on the Enter key is bearable! One more thing i just want to ask is… How to run remote windows xp system, any excutable file through another windows xp system both system are in network. With Netsh. EXE :. It was like I had 3 separate desktops on my screen.
Do you know the shortcut keystrokes that might make this happen. Thanks in advance.
