"Verify"

[Guest]

Greetings!

If I pull up an instance of MS-DOS,
and type "Verify",
the response is "Verify is off".

If I then type "Verify on",
the response is "Verify is on".

If I pull up another instance of MS-DOS,
and type "Verify", the response is "Verify is off".

How can I switch "Verify On" (or off) globally,
i.e. in all windows?


Regards

The verify command is an internal command and it looks like you're out of
luck.

Verify
Windows XP does not use this command. It is accepted only for compatibility
with MS-DOS files.

Paste the following line into Start | Run and click OK..

hh ntcmds.chm::/verify.htm

Sort of confilcts with...

Type VERIFY without a parameter to display the current VERIFY setting.

See the /v switches for COPY, XCOPY, DISKCOPY, etc. Type verify in Search
in the Command-line reference

Start | Run...
%windir%\hh.exe ms-its:c:\Windows\Help\ntcmds.chm::/ntcmds.htm

or Start | Run...
hh ntcmds.chm::/ntcmds.htm

Create a shortcut to Command-line reference and use this for the target...

%windir%\hh.exe ms-its:c:\Windows\Help\ntcmds.chm::/ntcmds.htm
