I know nothing about performance counters. But I do know how to copy and
paste from a command prompt. Hint.

Command Prompt Copy & Paste

This will set the QuickEdit Mode and the Insert Mode.

Right click the cmd.exe shortcut | Properties | Options tab |
Under Edit Options select both:
QuickEdit mode
and
Insert mode
Click Apply | Click OK

QuickEdit mode
[[Enables you to use a pointing device (mouse) to cut and paste, bypassing
the Edit menu.]]

This option provides a fast, easy way to copy text from (and paste text
into) Command Prompt windows with a mouse. You can highlight text with a
mouse and use the Enter key to copy the highlighted text to the Windows
Clipboard. Or highlight text and right click to copy to clipboard.

Insert mode
[[Enables you to insert text at the cursor. If this is not selected, text
that is typed at the cursor replaces existing text.]]

This option (on by default) allows you to insert text at the cursor
position. You can right click and paste.

Or...
Open a command Prompt | Right click the top border |
Properties | Options tab | Under Edit Options select both:
QuickEdit mode
and
Insert mode
Click Apply | Click OK | Place a tick in Modify shortcut that started this
window |
Click OK.

By selecting the Quick Edit Mode check box, you enable copy and paste from
the Command Prompt window. To copy, select the text in the Command Prompt
window with your left mouse button, and then right-click. To paste, either
at the command prompt or in a text file, right-click.

You can also right click the command prompt title bar, point to edit and
click Select All.

You can also Alt + Spacebar + E + S will Select all the contents of a
command window.

Alt + Spacebar opens context menu
E opens the Edit menu
S is Select All

Hope this helps. Let us know.

You get the first error because the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ESENT\Performance
doesn't exist. If you create the key the command will pass and the key
will be populated with values. Whether or not that fixes the other
errors that I don't know.
