Windows 10: Create Multipurpose batch file

Hope this is the correct sub forum for this..

Often use a variety of command line functions e.g. winver / netplwiz etc etc

Is there a way of creating a batchfile to include multiple commands with a number option to select...would be so handy

i.e. 1 Netplwiz
2 Winver
3 ???
Thanks

:)

 

Is it possible to add a custom image to pop ups created with a batch file.

I have a question about custom pop ups created with a batch file. I want to know if it is possible to add a custom image to pop ups created with a batch file?

Original Title: batch files

 

Something is creating batch files

Have you run Windows Defender and Malwarebytes?

 

Sure it is possible with command line arguments.

Batch Files - Create a Menu to Execute Commands - Windows 7 Help Forums

 

Thanks so much, that is exactly what need, just need a resource for handy command line arguments...

PS is there a third party program that would do this

 

I have created a batch file for winver and netplwiz, but when i try ipconfig or sfc /scannow they require admin rights....what can i add to run these without entering my password every time....
Thanks

 

Have done so more work on a batchfile...Have created a shortcut to it and given this admin rights, but still some commands seem to need something else..

a little help please

 

I was just looking into making something like this a few weeks ago, and decided to go with an AutoIt GUI.

Here's an example you could use (+ a gif):





Code: #NoTrayIcon #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> ; Add/remove buttons here, adjusting array numbers accordingly Local $btn[3] $btn[0] = 'Example Cmd' $btn[1] = 'Another One' $btn[2] = 'One More' ; Make sure func names match button text, minus spaces Func ExampleCmd() Run('rundll32 netplwiz.dll,UsersRunDll') EndFunc Func AnotherOne() Run('winver') EndFunc Func OneMore() Run('cmd /k ipconfig') EndFunc ; GUI dimensions/positions Local $btnCount = UBound($btn) Local $btnWidth = 155 Local $btnHeight = 55 Local $btnPad = 6 Local $btnX = $btnPad * 1.2 Local $btnY[$btnCount] $btnY[0] = $btnPad * 1.8 For $i = 1 To $btnCount - 1 $btnY[$i] = $btnY[$i - 1] + $btnHeight + $btnPad Next Local $winWidth = $btnWidth + $btnX * 2 local $winHeight = ($btnHeight + $btnPad) * $btnCount + $btnPad * 2.4 Local $winX = 0 Local $winY = @desktopHeight - 41 - $winHeight ; GUI Local $win = GUICreate('', $winWidth, $winHeight, $winX, $winY, $WS_POPUP + $WS_BORDER, $WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW + $WS_EX_TOPMOST) GUISetFont(14, 0, 0, 'Segoe UI') For $i = 0 To $btnCount - 1 GUICtrlCreateButton($btn[$i], $btnX, $btnY[$i], $btnWidth, $btnHeight) GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, StringStripWS($btn[$i], 8)) Next Opt('GUIOnEventMode', 1) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) While 1 If WinActive($win) = 0 Then Exit EndIf Sleep(50) WEnd[/quote] You'll just need to have AutoIt installed, paste that into an .au3, edit the commands, and create a shortcut to it (that icon is in imageres.dll). You also might want to adjust the window X/Y positions to have it pop up adjacent to wherever you keep the shortcut.

 

Thanks given me something to think about....

still would like like to know what's wrong with my batch file commands....


PS where did you get Windows 11 from LOL*chuckle

 

Haha, I wish that were the future of Windows. It's just Classic Shell with a few icons I found various places (they're here in my Google Drive if you want em).

Sorry to not really answer your question again, but I kinda skipped over the whole batch scripting thing and went straight into PowerShell. Here's what your script might look like in a .ps1:

Code: function Commands { Clear-Host $Entry = Read-Host @' 1 - Windows Version 2 - User Accounts Login option 3 - Internet protocol configuration 4 - System file checker 5 - Checkdisk 6 - Clean up 7 - Computer Management 8 - System Restore 9 - DirectX diagnostics 0 - EXIT '@ if ($Entry -eq 1) {winver; Commands} elseif ($Entry -eq 2) {netplwiz; Commands} elseif ($Entry -eq 3) {Clear-Host; ipconfig; Pause; Commands} elseif ($Entry -eq 4) {Clear-Host; sfc /scannow; Pause; Commands} elseif ($Entry -eq 5) {Clear-Host; chkdsk; Pause; Commands} elseif ($Entry -eq 6) {cleanmgr; Commands} elseif ($Entry -eq 7) {compmgmt; Commands} elseif ($Entry -eq 8) {wscui; Commands} elseif ($Entry -eq 9) {dxdiag; Commands} elseif ($Entry -eq 0) {Exit} else {Commands} } Commands[/quote]

 

Thank you.......looks much tidier.....

Opened a pwershell window, pasted code, but how / do i need to save it, how do i run it

thanks

 

First, you'll have to enable PS script execution on your system. Open PowerShell as admin and enter:
Code: Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned[/quote] Now create a .ps1 file and paste the script in.

To run it, you can right-click to "Run with PowerShell", or if you want to run with a more direct click, the easiest way is to create a shortcut with a target like (and must be single quotes):
Code: powershell & 'C:\Path\To\Your.ps1'[/quote]

 

Thank you ......will try very soon
