I am trying to do something in the control panel app that appears to requite administrator privileges. I revived the administrator account in Windows 10 but nothing in the resulting account works - particularly the "Start" button which does absolutely nothing when clicked on with either the...

That means that I'm basically out of luck trying to use the command as shown; fortunately I've found a work around which works fine and isn't too hard to do. Thank you, Rex. And I've updated to the current version.

I have a long, complex, command line that looks like this: @For /D %Artist in (E:\Multi-media\Music\Consolidated\*) Do (Echo %Artist & For /D %Album in ("%Artist\*") Do (Echo %@Name[%Album] & For /O:u %Song in ("%Album\*.m*;*.wma") Do (Echo %@Name[%Song]))) The result of entering this line...

Thank you, Rex. I did, in fact, have an alias which was the problem with the "start" command. And as far as the install is concerned, I was trying to run it from a cmd.exe command prompt where it was failing. However, doing the upgrade from the "Help" menu (I was unaware of that option) fixed...

I downloaded the latest version of the Take Command install program, and when I run it it gets to the point where the system puts up dialog box "Are you sure you want to allow this app to make changes to your PC?" and I click the "yes" button. At this point I get a dialog box "Are you sure you...

I am using @FileAge to compare file time stamps where the files are on different file systems. NTFS volume time stamps have a 100 nanosecond resolution whereas a FAT file system has a 2 second resolution. How do I go about converting an NTFS file age to a 2 second resolution value?

Thank you TEA-Time, that restores the functionality that I was needing. I don't remember having to use the Shift key to get that option before and the menu that comes up when you use the Shift key when you right click has many more options than what I remember. However I am disabled and bad...

Rex you were correct, I did have an alias for "Start" (Start=*Start /PGM %$). However that doesn't explain the absence of the "Run as administrator" option when right-clicking on a program on the taskbar. (I didn't notice this right away because normally I right-click the program on the taskbar...

Well Rex we are at an impasse here; that command (I copied it from your reply and pasted it into a TCC window) yields (and I quote) 'TCC: (Sys) The system cannot find the file specified. (line feed) /elevated"' so it (no longer) works as documented (It definitely will not start TCMD elevated...

Rex you didn't read what I wrote carefully enough - please look at it. 'Start /Elevated /PGM "TCMD.exe" does not work ("... cannot find the file specified. "/PGM") and "Run as administrator" no longer appears if I I right-click the "TCMD" icon on the task bar (to which it is pinned).

Rex, "/Elevated" is an option of the start command in the help file (I just looked at it). "Start /Elevated /PGM TCMD.exe" yields :"The system can not find the file specified. /Elevated". And "Stare /PGM TCMD.exe /Elevated" yields "The system cannot find the file specified. /Elevated". And I...

Running TCMD with the /elevated parameter yields a message box "The parameter is incorrect. /elevated". Also right-clicking on the tcmd icon on the task bar (which how I normally used to start a TCMD session in administrative mode) no longer has a "Run as administrator" option.. I actually...

I just downloaded and installed both the 32- and 64-bit versions of Take Command. The Install processes were able to successfully start each of them. I then went to the JPSoft website to buy them and paid and got registration keys. I then shut down both the 32- and 64-bit versions of Take...

Thank you Dave, you hit the problem on the nose! That should have been a comma instead of a period. Bad typing made the error; bad eyesight made it hard for me to see it. However that doesn't explain either the error message or the line that was said to be in error, but it's all water under...

First a note. I asked initially asked this question quite a while ago but I got involved in other tasks and just got back to it today. Rex, I understood that. However I don't see any way I have a variable name inside of a variable. Here's the whole BTM file: 1 @Echo Off 2 SetLocal 3...
