DELL D600 BIOS upgrade

[Halal-Al]

FYI: DELL's D600 BIOS executables has a hidden parameter:

If you start the BIOS executable with the -nopause switch it asks no questions, gives no warnings, it just does it.

E.g.

D600_A15.EXE -nopause

will launch the BIOS upgrade, kill all running apps, reboot Windows and perform the actual upgrade and then reboot again after completion.

So you might want to warn your users or even log them off before running this remotely through fx. SMS

I tested it on DELL D600, I'm not sure it will work with other DELL flash BIOS executables. You can test it by draging the exe into a notepad and search for the word '-nopause'. If it's there, it will probably work.
