Can you specify more than one open= command in the autorun.inf file?
This is what I am using and it only executes the first file open= command:
[autorun]
open=install.exe
icon=install.exe,0
open=xcopy usermanual.pdf c:Program Filesinstall directory
open=notepad readme.txt

View 2 RepliesI am using the following code to run defrag and to analyze if the C: drive requires defragmentation:
Dim analyze As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:WindowsSystem32defrag.exe", "C: /a /h /u /v")
This process runs through analyzing, runs it in normal mode & prints the progress to the command window.
My problem is that as soon as the process is complete the command window closes. I need it to stay open so that I can read the results.
I'm starting to make a program that will run some commands, so i need some code that will open command prompt and run the command "netstat -a".
View 11 RepliesI have an application that can read certain types of files, and I have it working so that if you do "open with" from windows, it automatically starts the application and opens the selected file.
Unfortnately, I cannot get it to work for more than one file.
System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs() contrains the following:
System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs(0) = name and path to the .exe
System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs(1) = name and path to the first file selected to be opened
System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs().Length is 2 when the user tries to open 1 file, which makes sense since the first argument is the .exe itself and the 2nd is the path to the file, but it does not increase to 3 if the user tries to open 2 files... meaning that System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs(2) is never populated Here is some sample code that shows the problem: It will recognize no files or 1 file being opened, but if you try to open multiple it will only show the first.

how do i run a program from a cd when its been inserted into a disc drive?
got my program done, and rather than install it i want to run it from the cd as soon as its inserted.
If some is being a bit dim... just think they got in the gene pool while the life guard wasnt looking.
How do I check to see if a user has Powerpoint 2007 or 2010 in the autorun for a CD, and download a reader if he does not? Can this be done in a VB script, or do I need to write a program to do this. My initial attempts tried using Fileinfo, but VB script does not recognise this class. This needs to be run on any user computer.

I just started playing around with VB today and have been working on getting a very simple program running. I am trying to create a program where when I hit a button it will open a command window and run a command. I have worked on this for a a good portion of today, and have not been able to find a solution to do this.[code]I have been through a few other things to get it to work, but nothing has seemed to work. Is there a better way to go about this? it seems like it should be simple, but I'm just missing it.

how to open excel with switches using vb.net, similar to what "Run.." does in Windows.. eg: this is what you would put in the "Run" ComboBox : excel.exe /r "C:ook.xls"
View 1 RepliesI'm not sure if this would be this right place to post this, or even if I should go about trying to do it through my program itself or through the computer's settings on the final EXE file, but anyways, here goes.
I have a synchronization program that syncs my flashdrive to my home computer and (hopefully) my flashdrive to my personal folder on the school computers. What I think would be easiest, though, would be if the program was located on the flashdrive, and would simply "autorun" when I plug it in, instead of having 2 separate instances of the sync program running at school and at home.
Would it be easier (or possible) to code for that from within the program, or with the EXE file's settings?
I have both the VB and C# versions of Visual Studio 2008 Express. When I run a console application in either version, instead of the console opening in an old DOS style command window like it does in VS 2005, it actually blacks out both monitors attached to my computer and treats the entire screen real estate as the console.Anyone know how to get the app to run in a small command-type window when I run it? It's like the console is running Full Screen. If I set a break point, switch from the IDE t the console and then hit Alt+Enter it switches to the small window that I want, but I still can't figure out how to make the app start with the console that way.I could post a screenshot but it would look like a big black square...no window, no frame, just the inky blackness of frustration.
