MS-DOS batch file (* .bat) ceased to run completely
Recently, I met a problem with an old, old MS-DOS batch file. All of a sudden, while trying to run in that the file has been opened by Notepad edit mode. (???) Investigation revealed that the default program for the *.bat files Notepad! So, I changed the default to "Windows shell". This has solved the problem of the notebook, but now presented another problem. The batch file will not run completely. The steps in the command file are: cd\ cd\dBASE chrmenu dBase III. He runs the two cd\ but does not program dbase RL. This program was written when way back and worked very well under Windows, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows XP and even Windows 7 (32-bit Home Premium). Now, all of a sudden, it's a failure. I touched base with MS Tech twice with no luck. Any ideas?
You must restore your file associations for .bat files.
Try the solution for files .bat on this page:

Run a Task Scheduler batch file not working
I have I have a batch copy file and rename it to a file. It works fine when double click on it. I set up to run on Task Scheduler using the wizard of Basic Actions. To test the method, I did a simple batch file that displays the date and time and stored in the same folder as my desired batch file. The Scheduler runs the simple bat very well. When I try to launch the bat copy/rename file, it doesn't do anything, but I do not see the flash blue and see that the planner lists the task completed successfully.
Per a suggestion on this site tried to change the setting to "use if the user is logged in or not." When I click on the box, I get a few indecipherable message on restrictions and password empty. It is a single-user computer (w7 64-bit), and as far as I know, is free of passwords and restrictions... Any help much appreciated, I have no hair left to tear.

Flashing batch file returns the control too fast
Hi I have a frustrating problem with a simple batch file that I am running on a W2003 server. For simplicity, it did something like this:
copy a b
call runprog.exe
If errorlevel 0 goto done
echo "error".
output
: fact
echo 'ok '.This has been working for a long time, suddenly and only on 1 times out of 10, while it just started running runprog.exe, control is returned in the batch file and it goes to the error condition. On the other 9 times of 10, she does not return control until runprog.exe has finished (as expected).
I reloaded runprog and tried a new copy of c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe. I also tried runprog.exe without the call - the same results.My conclusion is that something underlying in windows is damaged and he needs fixing with SFC or a recharge, but grateful for any ideas who would not so much here

batch file window flashing?
I created a batch file for Truecrypt that runs automatically at startup.
My password start Truecrypt window opens on the desktop so that I can enter the password to decrypt a hidden partition.
It works great except for one annoying habit. When I boot Windows 7 (64 bit) of the password window Truecrypt opens and starts to blink (blinking). There is no priority, so that I may be able to stop the blinking and enter the password in the password field, I first of all at the click of the mouse within the window to stop the blinking then click to highlight so that I can put the password in the password field.
On my machine XP, when window open on the desktop batch file, she was ready for me to start to enter the password. I didn't take the steps above I did with Win 7.
Any ideas how to stop flashing and the input field highlighted so that I can just begin typing the password?
Is there a switch I should add in the batch file so that it can work properly?Hello

I, stupid, changed the program by default to a BAT file to the cmd prompt, well, now I can't run the batch files now, please help!
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.

NETFIX.bat an 'L' of the command file
Not important, but most of what follows is true. It's just a HOW2 simplified for initial review. It is not a definitive guide, don't forget...
Never believe anything, everything you hear, and only about half of what you see; in particular within this document.
DISCLAIMER: This is my own personal scribbles used to create a batch file to reduce the typing needed to use some of the commands in my network A2Z nonsense & applying a low degree of automation. Now, I'm not able to ensure the effectiveness of the controls on my system, because it isn't really broken. So use you it at your own risk, your levels of configuration & special access is certain to be different to mine.
It was written using Notepad and is the plain text that can be scrutinized, edition, amended and implemented by almost everyone.

Well make HP machines, I'm a. I wrote the code on mine, I ran and tweaked. Since it is part of the operating system provided with my camera, it must be relevant.
So when someone asks what is/where or how to find MAC address, he covered (0 GETMAC).
If someone reports their Wi - Fi dropping out after a short time a possible solution in the list (4 WINSOCK
You want to know your IP... (1 GET IPs)

In bulk to rename files in a folder by using the DOS command line or a batch file.
Can someone help with this problem, please? I remember seeing the DOS command line to do a mass renaming of files in a folder or a batch file. for example, vacation photos are all in the format DSC00001.jpg to DSC001234 and I want to change it to something like, say, Rome0001.jpg to Rome1234.jpg.
How about this:Go to the folder of your files in that. Create a text file, and open it (Windows should use Notepad, that very well).in the file type:Ren dsc*.jpg rome*.jpgNow, save the file as:renamethem.bat(Make sure you call it ".bat" and save it as a txt document, which will make a simpel file and not add a strange formatting)From there, just double-click this file and it renames all your pictures accordingly.:)Old timer

Batch files are running very slow
Original title: batch files do not work!
Recently, whenever I try to run a .bat (batch file) it will slow down my computer until she reached the point where I can ONLY move the cursor. If I'm lucky I can sometimes get it to open but it doesn't do anything and once again I have to force reboot to get my computer to respond. If I open CMD directly and type in that what it is supposed to do manually will work. I need to be able to run batch files for some programs I run. I can not even "start iexplore.exe" as a batchfile to run. If anyone can help that would be greatly appreciated. Now I need to run batch files on my old laptop that can barely run and they take FOREVER. Thanks for the help!Hello
