I ran across this article ( Open Command Window Here « Burgaud.com ) about adding the Open Command Line Here to the Right Click menu in Explorer. It’s a good article and it shows you how to do the job with some registry hacks. I have included my versions here: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\runas] @="Open Command Window Here" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\runas\command] @="cmd.exe /k pushd %L" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\CommandPrompt] @="Open Command Window Here" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\CommandPrompt\command] @="cmd.exe /k pushd %L" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\CommandPrompt] @="Open Command Window Here" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\CommandPrompt\command] @="cmd.exe /k pushd %L" Just copy the above and save it to a regfile.

First of all, PowerShell does not have an InStr() or Mid() function, at least version one does not. I was trying to extract the Group name from the Common Name in AD and I wanted everything between the first = sign and the first "," comma. (I know there are other ways) So I found that in Powershell you can get the first position of a character by using indexof() like so: $a=$path $b = $a.indexof("=") # so the first = is at character 9 I don't want the equal sign so I add 1 $b = $b + 1 Next I get the index of the first comma. $c = $a.indexof(",") Then I get the number of characters between $c and $b $d = $c - $b Finally I get the substring I wanted: substring starts at the first character, in this case $b and then includes the number of characters in your substring, in this case $d. $e = $a.substring($b,$d) And here is my MID function: Function MID($path) { ...

I was asked to make up a menu for some connection testing. Many of the machines that are being tested are Windows XP and many of the testers are using XP. I found that Net View works differently on XP than it does on Vista, So I had to come up with a way to determine if the C$ share was available on either XP or Vista machines and from either a Vista or XP machine. I attempt to map to the test machine's C$ share and record the results in a text file. I then read the file and pull out the error code. Here is the function: Function View(strComputer) On Error Resume Next Const OpenAsDefault = -2 Const FailIfNotExist = 0 Const ForReading = 1 Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") sTemp = oShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%TEMP%") sTempFile = sTemp & "\runresult.tmp" oShell.Run "%comspec% /c net ...
