• BAT file automatically launch several virtual machines

  I try to use the automatic VMware.exe software from starting my VMs (three) when restarting my Windows desktop computer.

  I have created a. BAT file creating three lines of code in the startup of the host folder.

  Each line is similar to:

  "C:\Program Files (x86\vmware\vmare workstation\VMWare.exe"-x "c:\users\admin\Documents\Virtual Machines\vm1\vm1.vmx".

  Each line calls the next VM to start.

  My problem is that the batch file runs the first line (i.e. - start the first virtual machine) but will not progress to the second and third lines (so from the second and third VM)

  Each line of code works perfectly if entered manually and individually in the command RUN in the host.

  What I'm missing here?
  
  

  Hi WoodZ and jmtella

  A big THANK you.  The vmRun command was the answer.

  The attached file renamed as StartVM.bat works for me...

  I welcome your critical comment

  See you soon,.

• Workstation - Bat file to run several Virtual Machines

  I am currently using the following .bat file to launch several virtual machines:

  Start "" /b "C:\Users\Abe\Desktop\Virtual machine 1.lnk".

  Start "" /b "C:\Users\Abe\Desktop\Virtual machine 2.lnk".

  My problem is that start each machine's own instance of VMware.  Is it possible to build a script (.bat or other) who will start the virtual machines in a single instance of VMware Workstation.

  Regards and thanks in advance

  You can create a file of commands like this:

  vmrun start "C:\VM\VM1.vmx".

  vmrun start "C:\VM\VM21.vmx".

  This would open up two virtual machines in the same GUI - at least that's the way it works on my Windows 7 host with 9 Workstation.

  First, you need to access the real player if you're not already on it.

  D:
  CD D:\inetpub\kthings
  dir > C:\tftDocuments.txt

  You can display on the screen or have an application to display.

  TYPE tftDocuments.txt

  Or

  Notepad tytDocuments.txt

  Maybe an application such as this one would be useful.

• Copy of the Batch (.bat) file to the Start Menu for all users User/Each

  Created a lot on each machine (file1.bat) leader to create a queue (file2.bat) of lot for a launch of a page to start windows.

  This is the content of file1.bat:

  off @echo

  @echo > C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\file2.bat «»
  @echo start http://www.MSN.com/ > C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\file2.bat

  Expected result is to copy the file2.bat to the start of each user profile.  However, the file2.bat is not copied to the Startup Windows 7, 8, 10 folder after the test.

  However, it will work in file1.bat:

  off @echo

  @echo>"C:\Testing\file2.bat
  @echo start http://www.MSN.com/ > C:\Testing\file2.bat

  I have not the network joins a domain.  I need to send the file1.bat to all staff.  I intend to deploy to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.

  Thanks in advance to all.  Any help is appreciated.

  To run a command as Administrator file, you must click on it & select run as administrator.  Despite being connected with an Admin-level account, individual actions like yours needs as the run as Admin permission.  This is the way Windows works.

  

  You cannot add anything in a batch file to run as an administrator.

  You will see the system's responses to your batch file by adding a last line containing just the word break [test]

  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

  "File2.bat is to launch a web page which start machine"-Yes, I understand that. ""  But using a batch file to do this isn't better than just sending them the URL shortcut to the Web page instead.

  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

  "Wish only to send the file1.bat for users" - you must give them instructions to run as admin.  Since the instructions are necessary in all cases, then you might as well keep it simple by sending them a shortcut in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder and url of msn [shortcut].  In your email, you can tell them to use the first shortcut [Startup folder] to get to the good copy of place and then * the second [msn url] in there, giving approval to the Admin when / if * it is called for.

  Some target computers may have lower security settings [settings "UAC"] meaning permission Admin is not necessary, but since you do not know that in advance, you will have to warn that it may be necessary.

  If there are multiple users on each computer only one of them has to do this on each machine.  You must choose a user who is either an Admin user who knows the password for this computer.  If you ask each individual user to do this, then only the first will be something to see; others may follow your instructions, but they will see that it has already been done and he can stop then.

  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

  It is difficult to tell many users on many different computers to do something.  Some will ignore your instructions & do nothing.  Some will try to comply, but will make mistakes.  Some will do what you want.  You won't know the results even if you ask them to email you back to let you know.

• HP Officejet 6500 E710: How to create desktop icon to launch the Scanner dialog box?

  I would like to create a desktop icon to launch the Scanner dialog box. I'm not a fan of the approach to Tile Windows.

  Under Windows, 8.1, there was a desktop icon which allow me to connect to my Officejet 6500 unit and allow the scan to computer option. Who disappeared with the upgrade of Windows 10.

  I ran the print and Scan doctor and it solved the problems. When I went to test scanning, it arises from the familiar dialog box where I could choose different settings.

  It worked perfectly. But after having closed the doctor, I could not find any place to launch the new dialogue box, outside the doctor.

  I downloaded and installed the scanning HP and Capture app. It works very well, but I rather not leaving office to launch it, or use it enough to justify the taskbar setting.

  Is it possible to create a desktop icon for the application of scanning and Capture

  or

  is there a way to create an icon to launch the dialog box scan that print and Scan Doctor uses?

  I prefer this one.

  Hello
  
  Thank you for using the HP Forums.

  Is there a way to create the shortcut to scan on your desktop. Try the following steps:

  1. open a file Explorer

  2 C: > Program Files (x 86)

  3 program Files (x 86) > HP

  4 HP > HP Officejet 6500

  5 HP Officejet 6500 > Bin

  6 bin > Scanner HP

  7. right click on the analysis of HP and "create shortcut".

  You'll get a prompt that "Windows cannot create a shortcut here.  Do you want the shortcut to be placed on the desktop instead?    Select "Yes".

  Hope that helps!

• Problem executing .bat files

  Hello

  Recently I found myself unable to run .bat files. When I try to do, the computer slows down terribly and it takes forever to load cmd.exe and more to run each command. If, by chance, the .bat file terminates its execution, the computer plays again slowly, freezing the mouse and do not let me interact with the interface graphics or even open the Task Manager. This also limits me a lot, because I can not install MinGW + MSYS (timeout error), Java 6u21 (loads but does nothing), or I can use the .bat files to speed up tedious work.

  There is an exception to this situation, and this happens when I run the .bat from an already open terminal file, but that only solves the third problem (using files .bat for boring tasks).

  I have Windows Vista SP2 running on a PC of 2007 with Intel Core 2 Quad to 2.4 GHz, 3 GB RAM and graphics card ATI Radeon 2600 HD Series. For security reasons, I use the Windows Firewall and Panda Antivirus Pro 2010.

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  EDIT: I have a little... news. Their execution in safe mode doesn't cause any slowdowns and, also, the virus seems to be innocent (but I can't be sure, that he has disappointed me so much this year). This probably means that some process is blocking or running the files beats during a normal filtering mode.

  Try a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.  If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem.   Follow the procedures described in the article.  Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall.  Once remember to put Vista in normal status, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work. Given that the problem does not occur in Mode safe, I have better average hope that this process would work - but it will try it and see.

  I hope this helps.  If this isn't the case, after return and we will try other options.

  Good luck!

• OfficeJet 4500 scan does not create a file on disk

  Recently purchased, this replaces a PhotoSmart HP 2570, no problem with the software install, printer setup, network (ethernet connected), etc. Print and copy of work. Did not try the fax. Scan to file (pic to file) does not create a file on the disk that you use the HP Solution Center or on the button scan Panel before starting the scan.  "Preview scan" and "launch Windows Explorer in the save location after saving the files" are both checked.  I also used different 'save locations' and even created a new subfolder "temp1" from the root C: and set security to be "full control" for all of the listed users.  During a scan, all works well until and including the scan preview projected.  When "Finish" is selected, a progress dialog box is shown with a message to «Finish the scan of the computer...» "reasonable given the"Save location"by which the progress bar gets about 2/3 full and then disappears.  Windows Explorer does not start in the save location and there is no file created anywhere on the disk.

  Appreciate sincerely all serious and constructive comment.  If I don't get this resolved, I need to go back and return to the PhotoSmart...

  Hi William,.

  Welcome to the Microsoft community.

  Batch file is a type of script file, a text file, containing a series of commands to be executed by the command prompt. When you run a batch file, it opens the command prompt to run the scripts.

  It would be great if you can answer the following questions:

  1. what happens when you try to run a batch file?

  2 are. what batch file you referring?

  3. the problem occurs for a particular batch file?

  First of all, I suggest you to check the commands written in a batch file. To do the same thing, just right-click on the batch file, and then click change. It will open Notepad with the list of orders scripted for this particular batch file.

  If you have additional questions on the computer, please ask your question about Windows and we will be happy to help you.
