I have few .bat files that I used under Windows XP. Now I want to use them under Windows 10, but when I run one of the files (even as administrator) it shows the command prompt screen for 1 second and nothing happens.
Can someone help me please?
There is no inherent reason that a simple batch file would run in XP but not Windows 10. It is possible you are referencing a command or a 3rd party utility that no longer exists. To know more about what is actually happening, you will need to do one of the following:
Add a pause to the batch file so that you can see what is happening before it exits.
Right click on one of the .bat files and select "edit". This will open the file in notepad.
Go to the very end of the file and add a new line by pressing "enter".
type pause.
Save the file.
Run the file again using the same method you did before.
- OR -
Run the batch file from a static command prompt so the window does not close.
In the folder where the .bat files are located, hold down the "shift" key and right click in the white space.
Select "Open Command Window Here".
You will now see a new command prompt. Type in the name of the batch file and press enter.
Once you have done this, I recommend creating a new question with the output you see after using one of the methods above.

I wanted to know if it was possible to bind key to execute a command but while the .bat file is minimized.
Any ideas?
I have searched everywhere but I have found nothing, the only thing I found was "choice" which is something I am not trying to do.
I know that this is possible because I have a file that does it, sadly it is not mine and it was converted to a .exe file so I don't know how to convert it back to a .bat file to be able to look into the code and find my answer.
There are two types of hotkeys in Windows. One to activate an open window (set when window is created) and one that sends a message key pressed to a window (set by a program anytime).
On Windows shortcuts (ie lnk files not keyboard shortcuts) there is an option to set a hotkey. If the program is not running then windows' explorer registers it to itself and starts the program in the shortcut, if the program is running activates the window.

I am just wondering if there is a good way I can write a short .bat script or .vbscript to do the following:
While Excel is open, unregister the xll.
Grab the xll from a folder I specify to the deployment folder, replacing the current XLL
Register the new xll as an Excel addin.
The reason I would like to have such a script is because every time I compile the code I get a new xll and it would be a huge hassle if I have manually save all the opening Excel workbooks, shut down Excel, and reopen Excel after replacing the file.
My current set up is Excel 2010 on Windows XP/7 depending on the machine I work on.
Thanks!
You can rename memory mapped files, like DLLs, but not delete them while open.
You can do what you want, but it won't take effect till you restart Excel, gaining you nothing.
Registration is only used to create objects. Once created they don't use the registry so unregistring will probably work. You have to rename existing DLL before copying a new one in. Registering easy (as long as you don't then try to create an object).

I am trying to make a c program that will open my internet apps e.g. chrome, thunderbird etc.
When i am using the
system("")
function i have to do it all in one line cause everytime i reuse it, it resets my directory to where the c project is saved.
How is that possible?
Depend on what system & shell you're on, the syntax may be different
On Windows cmd just use && or &. For example
notepad && mspaint
calc & dir
&& will run the second command if the first completed successfully. & will run the command in the background on Linux/Unix, whereas it'll run the first then the second command in Windows
