   How to send a file “deletion” command through Run Command?

   I don’t think that it’s possible to delete files via Run Command. You probably will need to use Command Prompt (cmd in Run) and there you just type “del filename”. If filename is with white space (e.g. Program Files) use double quotes (“”) to encapsulate the filename.

   i think to delete a file from the run box you can if you like cheat by trying cmd.exe /k del filename /q
   i hope im right and that it helps

   Does anyone know how you setup new commands in the Run menu?

   ie. you can type “firefox”, “winword” or “excel” into the Run box and the applications open, but others won’t.

   There must be some way of linking applications with this path, maybe in the system registry?

   There’s no firefox.* files in my system path directories:
   Path=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Subversion\bin;c:\Program Files\Microsoft
   SQL Server\90\Tools\binn\

   Does anyone have any ideas?

   Thanks

   Hello Glenn,

   it’s quite simple. All you have to do is add a new key into Windows registry under

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths

   with name of the command with .exe at the end. Into this key create a new string variable named “Path” and put as value path to directory with your executable. To a “(Default)” variable insert as value path to executable.

   Now just type name of your command (can be without .exe at the end) and enjoy. You even don’t have to restart the computer.

    is there a “Run Command” code that allows to instantly shut every program that is running?

    david h at July 24th, 2009 around 2:37 pm
    

24. 24
    

    Hello David,

    use taskkill.

    taskkill /?

    will get you all the information. You can create all kinds of selections using /FI filters specifying which processes will be killed.

    It’s hard to create a rule which will kill all the processes and not kill your whole Windows, though.

    This feature does not apply to Windows XP Home. You have to use more simple tskill there.

    Use it carefully!

    Hello Chris,

    you can run a setup file manually. You have to right click on cd(dvd)-rom in MyComputer and then click “Open”. Then you have to find a setup file.

    You can also click “AutoPlay” to execute autorun, when you right click on the cd(dvd)-rom.
    If autorun doesn’t work, you have to follow steps on http://support.microsoft.com/kb/330135/en-us for turn-on the AutoPlay feature.

    Thanks

    hola a todos..

    muy bueno el contenido..

    saben me gustaria saber los comandos de control de volumen(aumentar, disminuir, mute, etc…),
    me pueden ayudar …??

    gracias…

    Hello Pedro,

    Windows doesn’t have any mechanism to control sound volume by commands or key-shortcut.

    You have to download program for this issue. Here two program, which can help you:
    mute.exe
    setvol.exe
    Mute control:
    You can switch on/off sound by command:
    "<mute.exe location>\mute.exe"
    Or you can switch on/off manually by command:
    "<mute.exe location>\mute.exe" on
"<mute.exe location>\mute.exe" off
    Sound volume control:
    You can set from 0 to 100 per cent of sound volume by:
    "<setvol.exe location>\setvol.exe" 50 (This example set system sound volume to half)
    And finally You can increase or decrease volume by:
    "<setvol.exe location>\setvol.exe" +10 (increase sound volume by 10%)
    "<setvol.exe location>\setvol.exe" -10 (decrease sound volume by 10%)

    Key shortcuts:
    I recommend to create three shortcuts with targets:
    "<mute.exe location>\mute.exe"
"<setvol.exe location>\setvol.exe" -10
"<setvol.exe location>\setvol.exe" +10
    You can set key-shortcuts in properties of each shortcut. Shortcuts have to be placed in startmenu or desktop, otherwise they won’t work. You have to be careful in choosing key-shortcuts, because if another program uses your key-shortcut, your shortcut won’t work. If desktop shortcut is a shortcut to another shortcut, its key-shortcut won’t work too.

    You can also try another way for mutting sound volume by using a script. The method is described at the bottom of page http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread-1468591.php.

    I hope, that the information will be useful.

    Thanks

    Hi Xdc,

    We don’t exactly know what do you mean.

    If you want to run windows from another computer from via your LAN, you can use WOL (wake on LAN) feature, which have to be supported by network card and motherboard. The feature allows to you wake up (when a computer is in hibernate state) or power on (when a computer is power off) via LAN. You have to download a WOL software for control the computers. There are many free WOL software on the Internet.

    The software needs some information (e.g. MAC address) to control power on or wake up computers.

    Hello Xdc,

    I think, that I finally undarstand your problem.

    You want to open the file manager windows on remote computers, you don’t want to run Windows OS there remotely.

    You can open window with path by writting a path to the run area in start menu or by writting command:
    explorer <the path>.
    Problem is, that it works only on your local computer.

    You have to download the program for remote program execution. You will need the same admin accounts on remote computers with simple password. The admin users may not be logged in remote computers when you will want to run applications remotely.
    You have to cheat a little bit, because when you will run explorer with path, no window will appeared. You have to run Internet Explorer with path.
    Here is command, which you have to write to command line:
    "<psExec_directory_path>\psexec.exe" -d -u <remote_adminUser_name> -p <remote_adminUser_password> -i <remote_computer_name(or comma separated names)> "c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe" <Window_path>

    When you won’t use the switch -p with the password, then it will be requested from you after executing the command.

    Here is an example you can use:
    "C:\Documents and Settings\Teacher\My Documents\PsTools\psexec.exe" -d -u adminUser -i \\Student_1 "c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe" \\Teachers_computer

    Don’t forget the quotes!

    I hope, that I helped you.

    Thanks,
    Matej

    wajid at July 2nd, 2010 around 2:41 am

    Hi wajid,

    here are three methods how you can protect your files and folders by password.

    1. You can use Windows encryption tool to protect your data. Encryption tool uses key, which is generated based on your account information. This method is very useful only in multi-user environment as you will never be asked to enter password.

    2. You can use Compressed folder by either Windows tool or third party archiving programs. In this case you will be always requested to enter password. However if you use windows tool, you can’t encrypt file names (you will see all files in protected folder, but you can’t open any file in it without password). If you want file names encryption, you should use third party archive program (e.g. 7zip, Winrar).

    3. You can use special software for access control to files and directories (e.g.Folder Password Expert or Protect Folder).

    Thanks,

    Hello Rahul,

    you must write cd %USERPROFILE%/Local Settings/History to command line.
    %USERPROFILE% is environment variable, which loads user’s profile folder (e.g. C:\documents and settings\{logged user name}).

    Hi,
    I am new to using the cmd terminal. On the computer I’m on at the moment, when I open the terminal the cursor appears following the text
    C:\Documents and Settings\User>
    I’m not sure what to call this, my default location?directory?filepath?environment?
    In any case, I tried some of the commands I have seen on this page. A lot of them don’t seem to change my “location” so that after trying the command I can just try another one. But some do. For instance, after using nslookup it returns my cursor to a newline simply following the text
    >
    Now if i try another command such as hostname, it doesn’t work giving me an error message saying hostname is a non-existent domain. Also, the command wmic someone mentioned (what is that) takes me to a different prompt.
    So far the only way I have found to get back to my original prompt (by hitting all the function buttons) is f6 which brings up the text ^Z and when i hit enter it returns me to my original prompt. However if i try typing this text manually including the capital z, even though it looks exactly the same, it doesn’t work! Why is this? Can someone help and/or direct me to a good website that explains the command terminal usage in more detail?
    Also, is there no copy/cut/paste in the terminal? I was trying to highlight text with ctrl-shift and arrow keys for copy paste but it doesn’t seem to work.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello j,

    1. CMD starts in your user profile directory (C:\Documents and Settings\User).

    2. For simplicity, sometimes when you run a command through CMD( e.g.nslookup) can await user inputs (it should look like in your case “>”) If you want to use CMD again, you have to finish command (e.g. nslookup), which can be done by command exit (command exit is supported by nslookup), pressing ctrl + c or sending special character(^Z) by ctrl + z (this is the same as you did with F6). Try to use help when you are not sure.

    3. If you want to copy some text from command promt just do rightclick and choose Mark from menu, then highlight text which you want to copy and press ENTER key. Then you will have your text in clipboard. If you want to paste some text, choose paste from rightclick menu.

    Thanks

    Great set of commands. Every now and again I have to look up a run command or something else. This site has proved invaluable. What’s even more impressive though it how long you have kept the updates going. Kudos – and keep up the good work.

    Hi

    I frequently go to the run dialog and type the command “telnet abcd” (abcd – just for an example).

    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..

    Hello Pradeep,

    you have to change path in target section of the shortcut according following pattern:
    <Windows Folder>\system32\cmd.exe /K <your command>, thus <Windows Folder>\system32\cmd.exe /K telnet abcd in your case.

    Thanks,

    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.

    Some of my shortcuts don’t display this behavior, and I can’t tell why one does and another does not.

    But it would be nice if the shortcut window would immediately close after it launches the app. Is this something I can control?

    Thanks!

    Hello Tom,

    I have never noticed this behavior yet.
    Give me more information:

    • How did you create these shortcuts?
    • Could you give me more examples of applications which display this behavior, please? I would prefer applications that are installed in Windows by default.

    Thanks,

    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. does anyone have any ideas or maybe ur good at writing scripts? 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 should show a few of them in this post aswell. at least the none destructive ones lol.

    Hello Jon Paul,

    I don’t know whether I can help you. I don’t have big experience with writing scripts.

    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. Just open registry editor and use “connect network registry” option.

    Thanks,
    Matej

    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. the vbscript option might work ill try that and post what happens later. Thanks for the response.

    if run option is not shown in start menu go to “Taskbar and Start Menu Properties” then “startmenu” and click on Customize button. Make sure that “Display run” option is checked.

    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.

    I need something to put at the end of this string to launch Rightfax under out ATLADMIN account so it wont prompt for the password each time it’s opened.

    C:\RightFax9.3client\Client\fuw32.exe -uatladmin

     Hello Jennifer,

     it depends on whether the program (fuw32.exe) allows you to put password during of its execution.

     I would like to help you, but I couldn’t find any documentations about the program.

     Try to execute the program from commandline by following way:
     C:\RightFax9.3client\Client\fuw32.exe -h
     You should see list of parameters of this program. If you find password parameter then you can execute the program with it and your password.

     If it doesn’t work please contact RightFax support.

     Thanks,
     Matej

     Hello Mohd Shuja,

     I didn’t understand your second question, but I can help you with the first one.

     You can use cipher program, which is normally used for encrypting/decrypting files, but it has one special feature which allows you to write zeros on desired data. Use following syntax to remove file permanently in commandline:
     cipher /w:[Path]
     Replace [path] with directory or file which you want to remove, but remember that it can not be restored.

     Thanks,

     Hello Riyazul,

     my opinion is that you probably have some kind of malware software which removes classic turn off options from start menu (through windows registry)and adds its own turn off option (instead of the classic turn off options). The login window asking you to fill administrator password is probably fake. I would run antivirus software in your place.

     Thanks,
     Matej

     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. This behaviour started after I cancelled some unwanted auto-start programs, does not happen on a complete start and I don’t think is malware. I just put up with it. One more hit on the Enter key is bearable!

     With Netsh.exe you can easily view your TCP/IP settings. Type the following command in a Command Prompt window (CMD.EXE):

     Eg: netsh interface ip show config

     To Configure your interface

     Eg: “netsh interface ip set address name=”Local Area Connection” static 192.168.0.100 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 1″
     ***(The following command configures the interface named Local Area Connection with the static IP address 192.168.0.100, the subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, and a default gateway of 192.168.0.1:)
