LEARNING OF BATCH FILES AND WINDOWS CANNOT FIND ' C:\DOCUMENTS'__

Technical info: Windows XP Pro SP 2. Microsft Office home and Student 2007. AVG Free 9.0.

Hello

I am trying to learn the basics of Batch files and am confused right now. I can get a. BAT file to produce a BACK screen and play with some commands, but when I try to get a. BAT file to open a MS Word 07 Doc I get the following message

Windows cannot find 'C:\Documents '. It stops at Documents. When infact the entire address would include Documents\testdoc or something else. I use Notepad to write the. BAT files.

If I go into the file target itself and copy and paste the address in XP search utility, it locates the file (with a full name), instantly. But if I do the same copy and paste, paste the address directly in. BAT file for example: C:\windows, DEPARTURE etc etc... It is just straight up with the above mentioned error message.

All advice forge kindly appreciated. My ultimate goal is to learn how to create a Batch file that will erase the files in different directories about five or six on the click of a button.

Thanks Mick.

I'm not an expert in writing .bat files. If no one else is here, you should post on the MSDN forums or there may be a group of newsgroups for .bat file writing.

  • Installation file error - windows cannot find ' C:\Users\---\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE\PDapp\core\... \D6\... \D...\setup.exe'

    Whenever I try to install an adobe application, I get to the menu where you select the programs to install and install the location of the folder and when I click on 'install' an error saying "Windows cannot find ' C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE\PDapp\core\... \D6\... \D...\setup.exe'".

    (I had a problem with windows 10 where it does not recognize the file extension in the file name, so if I could find the file, I might be able to solve the problem by renaming it to "setup.exe", but there is no such thing as the folder/file in question)

    Hi Goondung,

    A. What is your default browser?
    B. do you receive this error only with firefox?

    Try to change the registry and check if it helps.

    1. go to "Start-> Run" (or press the windows key + R) and type regedit and click OK
    2. use the directory tree hierarchy to access the 'HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\HTTP\shell\open\ddeexec '.
    3. delete the registry key 'ddeexec '.
    4. Repeat for 'HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\HTTPS\shell\open\ddeexec' (and any other protocol that you want to solve)
    5 repeat for 'HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FirefoxURL\shell\open\ddeexec '.
    6. Repeat for 'HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FirefoxHTML\shell\open\ddeexec '.
    Important this article contains information about how to edit the registry. Make sure that you back up the registry before you edit it.

  • Error message after you initialize computer error "Windows cannot find C:\Program Files (x 86) \Search Extensions\Client.exe make sure you typed the name correctly and try again.

    After that I turned on my computer, I get this error message... "Windows cannot find C:\Program Files (x 86) \Search Extensions\Client.exe make sure you typed the name correctly and try again."

    It all started October 1, 2014, and I have no idea why.

    I asked windows assistance online, and he said he had something to do with my registry.
    But then there just stop communicating and did not tell me how to solve this problem.

    Y at - it a registry repair tool?

    Also it does not affect my computer that I can tell.

    But I have a problem in which windows cannot detect.

    In the printers and devices window, the icon of my computer has a triangle with an exclamation mark inside error.

    Maybe someone out there not and I'd appreciate any help.

    Hey, mark

    First have you properly uninstalled this program? He was executed at startup of Windows an incorrect uninstall may cause this error may still be registered in MSConfig to start automatically with the computer.

    Did you go to the address specified in Program Files (86) \Search Extensions to see if the file is present or not?

    With a mark of exclamtion in the middle of a yellow triangle indicates that drivers must be updated.

    Right-click on the device with the triangle, select Properties, go to the Hardware tab, select the device with a triangle next to it, select Properties again and select Update driver.

    This should solve the problem, if Windows Update can't find a driver for you, you can always go to the manufacturers website and download it there, however, if the Windows Update does not find it there ' has a chance to the manufacturers Web site may not it as well, in this case, you can open Device Manager right-click the missing material or using outdated drivers, select Properties, go to the Details tab and in the hardware id select menu drop-down property search with id, you receive information about the device and so download the drivers the most up-to-date and appropriate from other reliable sources.

    Thank you

  • Windows cannot find filename.extention in "search programs and files".

    Hello all, there is a program called "Recuva" by Piriform there (it is a data recovery program). When I try to find the program (Recuva64.exe) on "search programs and files", I see "recuva", (the r without ceiling). When I click on that, a message box appears, saying "Windows cannot find '' Recuva64.exe' '. Make sure you typed the name correctly and try again. »

    Its running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
    If someone could help me solve this problem, I would be very happy. Thank you.
    PS: Same problems occur with Defraggler of Piriform CCleaner too.

    I'm not sure that I follow the problem then, sorry?

    It is just this program that fails, or all searches fail?

    If you click on "Recuva64.exe" it runs?

    Have you tried to remove and reinstall it?

    NOTE: later found this on a google - http://www.pcerrorfixtip.com/Recuva64.exe-318841.html I don't know on this site or one of its suggestions, I just found on google. But it does not mention "Windows cannot find C:\Windows\Recuva64.exe make sure you typed the name correctly and try again ' in the ' Recuva64.exe error messages:" section. Not sure if this is useful. AV check anything you download (as appropriate) from the site that I don't know anything about them, just a response from google. It will be useful.


    I hope that someone else may have an idea and help.

    Found that I had the same problem here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555472

    "To solve the problem, follow these steps:
     
    Go to the Windows registry.
    Navigate to the following registry key:
     
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/App Paths
     
    -Double-click HELPCTR. EXE.
    Right-click (default) in the right pane, and then click on edit.

    Click OK.
    Exit the registry editor and restart Windows XP".

    what I did export this key to work windows XP install and import the reg file for windows failure or you can manually create the key and send it to point to the location of the file if the file is missing then copies the file u do not know if the file differs from the House of Pro but its another option to take if U'r is still stuck.
    Sort my prob was the corruption in the reg for missing file that the hotfix may not work as such. If U still have the problem (cause the post is old) so good luck
