Script help needed

[John]

Hi

What batch or windows script command can I use to copy myfile.htm to

<system drive>:\Documents and Settings\<Current User>\Application
Data\Microsoft\Stationery

folder?

Thanks

Regards

 

[Mark Dormer]

copy c:\myfile.htm "%systemdrive%\Documents and
Settings\%username%\Application Data\Microsoft\Stationery\myfile.htm"

Shorter.

copy c:\myfile.htm "%userprofile%\Application
Data\Microsoft\Stationery\myfile.htm"

But, it too wrapped.

It's not only shorter but also more robust. A user's profile
folder is not necessarily "c:\documents and settings\%UserName%" -
- it can be a completely different folder. The variable
%UserProfile% reports it reliably.

Adding to Wes, Mark and Pegasus:

%appdata% variable can be used to further shorten the path.

I need to submit a post on a hard disk / checksum problem but every time I
click on New 'Question' or 'General comment', nothing happens except that the
page jumps a bit and that's that.

This happens occasionally, like today, all day, using either of 2 pc's I
have access to. So it must have something to do with the net or this Win Xp
newsgroup setup/function. Only way I can submit is via a 'Reply' to a random
current thread, like now. Any help?

How else can I access this Win XP General group. I usually come here via an
old
email notification or via the link I find in my Win XP DeskTop Help (F1).

(My HD suddenly stoipped working as a Master and keeps rebooting w/ checksum
error message. It won't boot to Win Xp any more but still works fine as a
slave in the spare comp).

Appreciate.

Whoops! Think I just saw the light. Seems the msn pop-up blocker is at work.
Didn't notice it and got no sound right now. When I allow popups, the new
'question' window pops up ok. Sorry 'bout that. I will now try to post under
title of:

"Lost HD Master function / CMOS checksum error"

(Note: I already posted this before but had to break into someone's thread
and use the 'Reply' expedient. Unfortunately that will not get it to the
attention of the
mvp's who may be specialists on this issue. So want to now post the proper
way).

Do yourself a favor and setup a real newsreader.

You will later wonder why you didn't setup OE as your newsreader sooner.

The reason you're having such problems is that you are using the web
interface to read this newsgroup--it's the slowest, clunkiest, most
error-prone method there is. Do yourself a favor and switch to a newsreader,
such as Outlook Express, which comes with Windows.

See http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/outlookexpressnewreader.htm

Thanks, Ken and Wesley. Will add that to my 3-mile-long To Do list immediately!
First I got some other problems to solve, unfortunately. Fortunately, I do
have
Outlook Express installed and working. Usually it's not to bad here but as
you say...
Will give it a go soon.

Appreciate,

 

[Wesley Vogel]

Have fun, Ted.

OK, Wesley, re OE, had some cockpit problems initially, since mostly
resolved.

Think was due to fact I'd forgotten I was working from friend's comp (which
didn't have an OE acct) and analyzing my own problem-HD in it as Slave (and
which had my OE acct) - or something like that...

Anyhow, I'm in OE now and, as you say, it's great. Just take some time to
get used to. Got all your links, though, for when I do get into trouble.

Once again, thanks for putting me on the right track. Looks good, so far.
OK. Got to get back on that troublesome HD and first back up some 30 Gigs
tonite - to where, I still don't know!

OK. Got that. Thanks. Got another one to post here, re: "MSOCache". Not too
familiar w/it. Maybe I'll google it but might not tell me what need to know.

Appreciate.

Aha! That'll save me a bit of trouble then. Just what the
Doctor ordered. That was fast!

Couldn't check my mail 'til today 'tho.

Thanks again.

 

[Guest]

OK. Just checked those 2 links and they sure do clear the air for me on the
issue.
Thanks.

If I could push my luck just a hair further - and although this is not
really a WIN
issue - I'm wondering if you've had any experience w/ problem Hard Drives.
If so,
you may have asked (and answered) similar.

As noted in a previous post, the HD in question won't work as Master any
more.
It just wouldn't boot one morning. Works fine as Slave, though, in other comp.

I'm wondering if the MBR and/or first sector were damaged somehow. If this
is the case, would re-partitioning and re-formating restore the Master
functionality?

I seem to recall something in a flash from the past about if sector 1 is
damged
then the HD is toast and nothing can be done.

Any comment on the above?

Who mentioned c: ?

I specified "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings
