Batch needs lots of intervention...?

[Guest Kenneth]

Howdy,

 

I have been trying to create a batch file that will start

with my system in Normal Mode, boot it into Safe Mode with

Net, run two programs, and finally boot the system into

Normal Mode once again.

 

With some help, I have gotten this far:

 

 

@echo off

if exist c:\safemode (

del c:\safemode

attrib -r -a -s -h c:\boot.ini

start /wait "" "C:\Program Files\Corel\WordPerfect Office

2000\programs\pdxwin32.exe" -W D:\Contacts D:\ contacts.fsl

start /wait "" "C:\Program Files\ContactGenie

Importer\CGImprtr.exe"

/TM=Contacts-3;/FL=D:\Contacts\contacts.txt;/PC=Y;/RQ=N

copy /y c:\boot.NORM c:\boot.ini

shutdown -r -t 00

) else (

echo XP boot in safe mode >c:\safemode

attrib -r -a -s -h c:\boot.ini

copy /y c:\boot.SAFE c:\boot.ini

shutdown -r -t 00

)

 

 

and it runs properly, but with lots of intervention:

 

I launch the batch file from a shortcut.

 

Then, I have to:

 

click on my username

enter my password

click to clear the Safe Mode description

launch the shortcut

click on my username

enter my password

 

Is there a way to incorporate all that into the batch file

so that it would run to completion without further

intervention?

 

Thanks for any help on this,

--

Kenneth

Check this link about your first automatic logon:

http://www.wikihow.com/Enable-Automatic-Logon-in-Windows-XP.

 

About the second automatic logon: This appears to be a property of

pdxwin32.exe or of CGImprtr.exe, hence you should consult the manual for

these products.

Hi again,

 

Of course, I will study the link, but both logon requests

are Windows Logons.

 

The first occurs when it boots into Safe Mode, and the

second occurs when it boots back into Normal Mode.

 

I may be missing something (plenty) but neither seems

related to Paradox, or Contact Genie.

 

All the best,

Hi again,

 

I just reviewed the link you suggested, but it is about how

to set up the system for automatic logon.

 

I need to have the system password protected, and so, would

not want to set my system up to boot with an automatic

logon.

 

I was hoping to incorporate something in the batch file to

(as you said in an earlier post) "force" a logon.

 

Thanks for any further help,

I don't think that you can do this with a batch file. Even if you could it

would run contrary to your requirement of having the system password

protected. Putting a password into a batch file is almost the same as

writing it on a post-it note stuck to the screen.
