Welcome to our Forums.

Welcome to our Forums Sorry it's belated...

You are intent on me making this thing bigger aren't you? I will take a look at improving this thing as soon as I get a little time. As far as the multiple EXEs go, there shouldn't be a problem, my initial test, (singular), seemed okay, but there was no 'real' testing done on it. I'll give the tidied version a go first and test it a little before reposting it here.

Thanks. There is of course a small mistake in it, more to do with input checking than anything else, but I couldn't be bothered changing it. Why... Because I wanted to have the 'smallest looking script' on offer without concatenating lines, and that change would have made it look a little bit longer!

I have just downloaded the Optimum X hosted shortcut.exe (v1.1). There is also this offering XXMKLINK, from the makers of XXCOPY

Well before it gets even more complicated, here's a batch file version. @ECHO OFF SETLOCAL FOR /F "DELIMS=" %%? IN ('DIR/B/A-D *KB*.EXE') DO CALL :GI_ %%? GOTO :EOF :GI_ SET "N_=%1" :LP_ SET "N_=%N_:*-=%" ECHO/%N_%|FINDSTR/I "KB[0-9]*">NUL||GOTO LP_ SET "N_=%N_:~0,8%.exe" IF NOT EXIST %N_% REN %1 %N_% GOTO :EOF

Hello to you too! Welcome to the Forums.

Does this do it? @ECHO OFF &SETLOCAL SET "RKEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}" SET "KDAT=%%USERNAME%% on %%COMPUTERNAME%%" REG ADD %RKEY% /VE /T REG_EXPAND_SZ /D "%KDAT%" /F>NUL

Welcome to the Forums. Strange use of tags...

Welcome to the Forums. I have never heard them before, but I will give them a listen when I have a little time and report back my opinion. <Edit> Opinion I'm afraid its not going to be positive... They are a poor version of what Scorpions were doing more than 20 years ago! </Edit>

How come I've not read about this undocumented feature before? It'll save me from using the messy UpdateInis directive, thank you for bringing it to my attention.

No problem! It's actually one of the reasons why it seems we want to know too much. People can start with an idea and set off on a solution only to find that there are other, possibly better alternatives. I see you went with the chr(34) idea too!, I didn't know if it was needed since many people use underscores as a replacement for spaces, but better safe than sorry

Further information: The basic program command line looks like this: The program itself however is capable of performing the task you require of it without having to use a script to list all the mp3s first. What this actually means is that you would be better off asking for user input for eitherInDir and OutDir InDir and -a My guess, especially due to the time lapse caused by the -z switch is that using the script to individually process each mp3 is a bad idea when the program is already coded to process all mp3s in a directory.

Neither, you would need to use a script to apply or create the registry settings using the appropriate variables. Unfortunately this is one of the cons of using reg files.

For that output should you not be using a line like this then? WshShell.Run(mp3packer & " -z -t -s " & Chr(34) & x & Chr(34))

Welcome to the Forums.

Yes, merge it!You will probably need to reboot, or restart of explorer, for the entry to show in the context menu.

Something like this should do you! HTeMpLate.reg

No but it is relatively easy to make one. Search the forum I'm sure there have been examples in the past.
