Hey all....saw the other thread and thought I'd put this out since I need some help with it....

I'd like to have a batch file that when run, does the equivalent of going to START -> RUN -> enter: "ABCD" -> and hit OK

If someone could help me out, I and the entire R@H would be much appreciative (though only a handful even know what this is about).

*AND* If anyone knows how to put at 5 minute delay on, that'd be even better. i.e., I'd like, if possible, to put this in the Startup folder and have it run 5 minutes after startup :)

EDIT, also a second request, would be another batch file that runs the aforementioned batch file every 3 days....for dedicated crunchers that dont get restarted often...or even monitored.

If you have any questions, please contact me in PM.

Again, thank you :worship:

To get it to run every three days and after logon use scheduled tasks in the control panel.

You have to resave the file as a .bat file.



my waiting loop isn't cooperating, ideas?:
for /L %i IN (1,1,50000) DO echo waiting.......
It works if you type it into the cmd window, but it doesn't work in a batch file :confused:
