frustration here command prompt

I know that SOMETIMES when you hold down the SHIFT key while clicking on a BLANK space in a window of Windows Explorer, you can get the "open command prompt here" to appear.
It also works if you hold the SHIFT key and right-click on a folder in this window to open a command prompt in that folder.

However, if I work with a lot of files in a folder and to run a command with a wildcard character, it is VERY difficult to get the "prompt here" to appear because there is not any space in the window.

Is there a way to always appear as the XP registry hack? I found this link, but it doesn't seem to do anything.
http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/make-command-prompt-here-always-display-for-folders-in-Windows-Vista/

If I'm missing something, as a location for a click in a window FULL of files, please post the thing to "invite command here" appear when there is no empty space in the window.

Use a large window of the Explorer. If you don't have too many selected columns, the space to the right of the last column will serve your empty space.  If you have something selected, you must click once in the empty space to deselect. Then shift-right click in the same space and you will get the context menu with 'open command here window '.

As an alternative, create a batch file, say newcmd.bat, with a line like this:

@for %% in (%1) @cmd /k cd /d % ~ dpf

Then make a right click any file, choose 'Open with' and get in your new .bat file.

If you only view files (they don't give you 'Open with'), shift-click-right, one of them and choose "open command here window.  When the window appears, type 'cd..'.  (You don't need a space after 'cd', but of course, it wouldn't hurt).  Lame, perhaps, but pretty fast.

If the .bat file line is not supposed, ask about the order FOR.  You miss out on improvements in automation.

  • How can I run CHKDSK /F on a blue screen on Windows XP? I can not at all to a command prompt.

    I accidentally shut down my computer for an update.  Now I can only get a blue screen with a message saying that a problem has been detected and I need to disable or uninstall any anti-virus, backup utilities or disk defragmentation.  He told me to check my hard drive configuration and to search for updated drivers.  Then it is said to run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption.  The technical information is: 0 x 00000024 (0 x 00190203, 0x8638c6c8, 0xc0000102, 0x00000000).  I can't run Windows in safe mode, I can't seem to run in its final configuration, nor can I get it to go to a command prompt - it just goes back to the blue screen.  I also tried to put in my XP disc that came with the computer, and it helps not at all either.

    Unfortunately, the Microsoft Answers forum still does not prompt for any kind of information system when a new question is asked, so we don't know anything about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

    Maybe someday the dialog box 'ask a question' forums XP will ask these questions automatically when a new thread is started so I don't have to ask every time.  It might even be possible to solve a problem in a single response when enough information is provided.

    I think I'm about to lose hope on this fantastic.

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (This includes the plug pulling, buttons power and removing the battery).

    These can cause corruption in the file system that must be fixed before you do anything else.

    If none of these events occurred (or even if they have not taken place), you must verify the integrity of your file system before anything else (especially "try" things).

    There is zero logic to begin to try to begin to try to modify or copy files to a hard drive that has a corrupted file system, so this must first be fixed using the XP chkdsk program and run chkdsk on your hard drives may solve your problem completely.

    Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix the problems and then try to start your system - this may be all you need to do.  Or, you are welcome to just start trying things that might work.

    Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

    This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

    A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

    In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

    Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

    Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

    CHKDSK C: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

    It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

    You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

  • Re: Satellite Pro C660 - how to do the recovery with command prompt disc?

    I have a brand new Pro C660 of Satellite. It worked fine for a day, now it will not load windows. I don't have to create the recovery disks, as I only had a few hours (Yes, Yes, I know, should have been the first thing I did). All data are present (but backed up just in case USB) and I can see the folder HDDREcovery with all data intact. However, I can't run the application to create recovery discs. Does anyone know how to extract the images and create the media using only the command line? (I can go into command prompt by booting from the Windows 7 disc a friend). All options fail own laptop startup disks. It says 'Windows does not load' and I try startup repair, but it detects no error. Any help/thoughts on this will be greatly appreciated!

    I can only see C: \USERS\OWNER >

    How can I get the usual box of options?

    Hello viewerx. C: \USERS\OWNER is always the default value in Windows Vista or later, even if you change it manually. You try to perform a file system check? If so, the command is "sfc/scannow" without the quotes.

  • LabView program in command prompt

    Hi all!

    First of all, here is my config:

    -Dev PC: Win 7 32-bit

    -Target PC: Windows XP - 32 bit

    -LabView 2009 - 32-bit

    I need to design a program which one will be interfaced with an ERP. So it should not have a GUI and must be controlled by sending to command (MARKET / STOP / ABORT...) and send some status info (data of 10 or 15). For now, I'm only able to launch my program of command prompt and of the arguments passing. But I'm not able to send orders after this and disable the HMI.

    Is it possible to do it with LabView? If yes how? If not, how can I interface my devices to LabView and manipulation program of these devices in another type of program that allows you to do?

    Thank you for taking the time to make this post very informative, excellent. Without the machine test myself that I can't be sure, but based on the age of the computer and what you wrote I suspect for lack of material. It could be something simple like the hard drive or RAM or something more serious like the motherboard. I wouldn't recommend replacing any material on such an old laptop.

    As long as the hard disk has been physically, you can recover your data easily. If the hard drive has failed, then you will need to send the drive to a professional drive savers data recovery company. It is quite expensive ($500-3700), but they can usually recover your data. Some insurance policies cover also, professional data recovery in order to check with yours. But let's be optimistic. ;-)

    IMPORTANT - If there is no question that the drive is at fault - there are noises, for example - and the data is crucial NOTHING else ON THE DISC. Whenever launch you this player you can destroy data. If this is the case, send the drive to a professional data recovery company.

    I'll give you the information on how to test the hard drive to see if it's good physically and how to recover data when you can't in Windows but in doing these things requires a certain level of computer skills. You know yourself the best and that it would be better to take the laptop to a competent local professional. If you do this, do not use a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad of the place.

    A. test equipment

    Test the hard drive with a diagnostic utility downloaded from site of the disc mftr. or use SeaTools for BACK of Seagate. You create a bootable CD with the files you download. You will need a third party burning software to do as the free ImgBurn, Nero or Roxio. Burn as an image, not in the form of data.

    http://Seagate.custkb.com/Seagate/CRM/selfservice/search.jsp?docid=201271 (how-to)

    Boot with the CD that you have done and do a full test of the reader. You will probably need to change the boot order. Your Dell can give you a temporary boot menu if you press F12 as the computer starts. If so, use your arrow key to select the CD drive. Otherwise, press F2 to enter in Setup (BIOS) and change the order of boot on the CD drive first. If the disk fails all physical tests, it must be replaced. Although readers of the laptop cost around $60, you should really consider if it is to put money in such an old machine. You can replace the disk, but the laptop is definitely at the end of its normal life and something else is doomed to failure.

    B. retrieve data detach a healthy disk when you are unable to Windows

    1 remove the drive and put it in a box of USB drive or use a USB adapter. Attach it to a computer that is running a working XP/Vista/Windows7 installation. Use the work of Windows Explorer to copy the data to the hard drive of the system to the rescue and burn data on cd or dvd.

    2. you can start the target computer with a Bart PE (if you use XP) or a Linux live CD like Knoppix and retrieve the data in this way. General information about the use of Knoppix for this are:

    You will need a computer with two cd records, which is an engraver of CD/DVD OR a USB stick with a capacity to hold your data OR an external USB hard disk formatted FAT32 (not NTFS) *. Download Knoppix .iso image file and create your bootable CD. If you do this in a previous (XP or Vista) operating system, you will need the third burning like Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn software (Windows 7 can burn .isos natively). Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Then boot with the CD that you created, and Knoppix will be able to see the files in Windows. If you use the USB key or an external hard disk, right-click on its icon (on the desktop) to get its properties and uncheck "read only". Then click on it to open it. Note that the mouse action by default in the window manager used by Knoppix (KDE) is a simple click to open instead of double-click traditional MS Windows. If you want to burn CD/DVDs, use the K3b program.

    * My understanding is that you can now write on NTFS from Linux partition. If you wish to do this, Google for instructions on the use of the NTFS driver.

    to boot from the dvd drive to be able to you will see a way to get into the bios Setup at the bottom of the screen or command menu start

    It would be F2 or delete etc to enter the BIOS or F12 etc. for the start menu

    Change boot order it do dvd drive 1st in the boot order

    and if all else fails and you need to reinstall vista are the normal methods for computers preinstalled vista portable

    Contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send vista recovery discs

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F10 or F11 or Alt + F10, 0 at startup to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence
