Windows 10: Can you batch mundane tasks with Windows 10?

For example.

I have a list of folders: Say "Folder 1" contains a folder named "Folder 1" but the second folder contains all the necessary files & folders. So I have to copy the sub-folder "Folder 1", go out to the main folder list and then copy over the original top level folder...now imagine having 50 or more folders & repeating the copy/paste task 50+ times.

task scheduler & batch files

The Task scheduler is at C:\Windows\System32\taskschd.msc and a shortcut to it is also shown in Start menu, Windows administrative tools.

Since you are going on to consider running batch files using Task scheduler, have a look at

Make Windows 10 Task scheduler run a batch file minimised and with a specific icon - Forum article

Task Scheduler Batch file

Hi all,

Looking for some help.Im creating a batch file to run for different users to add a scheduled task. HOWEVER - the whole thing works great and has done for some time.But after i run the batch file on each machine (different users) i have to go into the security options and change the user the task runs in to the unique user of that machine. Is there a way to use the batch file to pull the account name of the machine (or computer name) and use that as the user the task runs in?


Thanks =)

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
