He's right, no Reg tweak for that as its a dll call. I can show you how to make it show with a fresh install though.

spoke too soon. can't get that forune.exe to run inside a batch so back to other method Can't use with this dos ( ) Can't use CD with the /D either H: CD SHOPMFG\SECOND~1\COOPER~1\NUMBER01 For %%A in (*.*) Do Copy H:\SHOPMFG\SECOND~1\COOPER~1\Sheets\%%A C:\2WND\DATA_2 /Y CD H:\ <<< puts it back to root. CD H: just echos your current dir C: Check out what I am doing with the CD here, it works so I'll use it. Some day they'll update these things but that was put on back burner to do other stuff.

Found the best thing - Fortune.exe part of fortn708 package. Its a tuner for the Dos For command and works great. fortune in H:\ShopMfg\Second~1\cooper~1\number01\*.* Do Copy H:\ShopMfg\Second~1\cooper~1\Sheets\%R.%E C:\2Wnd\Data_2 by running that I get a batch file with all commands and it even deletes the doit.bat at end of execution. The %R.%E extracts just filename and you can do all kinds of things with it. I can run that from C: drive without any hitch. Those Paths aren't mine, it where I work and the guy before me should have made it short path knowing he had Dos machines out there.

I didn't put all the Paths there and its only a 10 Mhz. We only have 5 left. Couldn't use above because For %%A in (H:\Main\*.*) turns into the Full path for the variable so that fails. so Had to use this H: CD SHOPMFG CD SECOND~1 CD COOPER~1 CD NUMBER06 For %%A in (*.*) Do Copy H:\SHOPMFG\SECOND~1\COOPER~1\Sheets\%%A C:\2WND\DATA_2 /Y By CD to actual dir the variable %%A becomes filename only and these are 8.3 names MHz, I'll look at using that because I actually need to do 3 operations here. Copy the Number## file to Data_1 Copy corresponding Sheets file to Data_2 Delete the Number## file so next time there are less. Bad here is while its still on H: it creates a funky file AHEIVOP or similar but that may have been Xcopy I was using on that folder. By CD.. all the way back to C: that don't happen. Also need the path to be back to C: for load of next 2 programs anyways and need H: to be at root.

I use xcopy now but have to do it by date /D:02/20/2008 to get the Sheets folder files since after I copy from Main they are deleted untill next update which can occur anytime. These are old and don't keep date very well. Is there a way to use xcopy to get the files that are in main only from Sheets folder also? Sheets is nearly 7500+ files and needs to be done quickly only grabbing Sheets files that are in Main also since they are updated same time. This is ver 6.2 xcopy in Dos on a whopping 25Mhz with 1mb ram so copy entire folders is sssssllllllllllooooowwow.

Have a need to use For in Dos 6.22 and wondering if someone can tell me how to copy some files. Heres the situation I have a folder on the Network called Main and another called Sheets. As files are updated they are placed in Main for a machine to download. Can be 1 or 20 possibly and None are named the same. I need to copy the identical file from Sheets also. Yes they are named identical but they go to different folders on the Hard drive like Data1 and data2. One is a machine print and other is for the user. This will be in a batch file so %% is required. And if a file exists we overwrite For %%A in (H:\Main\*.*) Do Copy /Y H:\Main\%%A C:\Data1 For %%A in (H:\Main\*.*) Do Copy /Y H:\Sheets\%%A C:\Data2 Does that look correct or someone with Dos skills can help me out here?

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ;Note for the Find Target to work you need a default Open unknown files. ;This adds Open w/Notepad if you don't already have something set. Comment out if you do. [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\open] @="Open w/Notepad" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\open\command] @="notepad.exe \"%1\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Find Target...\command] @="explorer.exe /select, \"%1\"" Vista has 'Open file location' on its right click.

we're on 2K right now at work and they tell us to not store anything on the drive, save to the Network somewhere since that is backed up even your 50+mb user folder. They ghost us back after a problem and you just point your stuff where it needs to retrieve the files. My Docs don't have nothing Same as my method at home using a backup drive which I burn to Dvd R/W as the need arises. In between I keep my backup WIP on a secure jump drive.

exactly rajesh.kumar but StuckRects2 gets something else I'd have to study Like the first post of this topic I show that, forget the links to other machines cause if its yours or even your network there will be no problems with XP cause XP will resolve very quick. Using in Vista SP1 here even. icemanx msg me with what you want to do if you still need help.

NOTE: Not always needed but when you do an expand variable or a path with blank spaces in it for instance %ProgramFiles%\ use quotes around it "%ProgramFiles%\dada"

best bet is go ask in that vlite forum don't you think? Mod move this
