I made a batch file earlier with the code
start chrome.exe --profile-directory="Profile 1" http://drive.google.com
It opens google chrome to the page "Drive.google.com" as the profile 1 user.
However, everytime i run it it opens chrome in a tiny window. I was wondering if there was a way to open it in either fullscreen mode or a larger windowed mode. I tried the
mode con lines=1000 cols=1000
But it seems to be only for batch files. Is there a variable simlilar to the profile variable that will open it in fullscreen?
As waeswaes said you can add the /max tag
/MAX Start window maximized.
So:
start /max chrome.exe --profile-directory="Profile 1" http://drive.google.com

I am writing a cmd batch script that runs a module called Docsify. I want to get the URL from its output and open it in a browser. The problem I have is:
It doesnt echo the output (basically just a blank display after calling the command)
I need to open it in a browser
(Worth mentioning though that when I manually open localhost:3000 in the browser, then the page actually loads fine. I am not sure why the cmd command isnt able to display the proper output)
Here is my code:
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%A IN ('docsify serve ./docsify') DO (
echo %%A
)
This is my EXPECTED output:
Serving C:\Users\me\Desktop\NodeJS\node_modules\doc-viewer\docsify now.
Listening at http://localhost:3000
But then as I've mentioned what I'm getting is just a blank display.
I also tried to just manually enter the command and force it to open localhost:3000
docsify serve ./docsify
start /d "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer" IEXPLORE.EXE https://localhost:3000
Then the docsify output is displayed in my console, as expected. But then I need my script to open IE and go to localhost:3000. It currently doesn't do that because it is 'listening' at port 3000 (it stays on this prompt until I terminate the cmd). Is there anyway I can call a command to open IE while docsify is listening?
Any thoughts?? Thanks!
I finally found a solution. Basically I run the docsify server through docsify serve on a separate cmd window then add a timer before opening localhost:3000 on the browser.
start cmd.exe /c docsify serve ./docsify
timeout /t 3
start /d "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer" IEXPLORE.EXE http://localhost:3000
I am trying to launch a Powerapp using MS Edge to display on a screen. I have a batch file that needs to run every 6 hours. I need to close Edge and then relaunch the powerapp link, but the problem I am having is that when the app is relaunched it is opened on a minimised window. I need to have the powerapp displaying full screen without any Edge menus or anything. This is my code at the moment. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
start msedge
taskkill /F /IM msedge.exe
%windir%\system32\cmd.exe /c "start microsoft-edge:https://apps.powerapps.com/play/{app_link}&hidenavbar=true" --disable-extensions --new-window --start-fullscreen --disable-popup-blocking
I test your code, Edge is open in maximin size but Edge menus still exist. If you want to open Edge in full screen without any menus, you can use Kiosk Mode.
You can add --kiosk flag to enable kiosk mode in Edge, the sample code is like below. It can achieve what you want:
start msedge
taskkill /F /IM msedge.exe
%windir%\system32\cmd.exe /c "start msedge.exe --kiosk --disable-extensions --new-window --start-fullscreen --disable-popup-blocking https://apps.powerapps.com/play/{app_link}"
I wrote a batch file with the intention of launching Opera and VSCode (on a workspace) with one click, it looks like this:
It runs just fine. Opera starts, then VSCode does as well. The problem is, that when I close the CMD window, VSCode also shuts itself down. I wanted the CMD window to automatically close after execution in the first place, so I tried putting an "&& exit" and "exit" at the end of the code (not at the same time), but it didn't work.
I assume that you have opera.exe added to the PATH.
#echo off
start opera
cd C:\Users\louis\Desktop\Development\Projects\JS
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code\bin\code.cmd" JS.code-workspace
or
#echo off
start opera
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code\bin\code.cmd" C:\Users\louis\Desktop\Development\Projects\JS\JS.code-workspace
I would like a batch file to open separate internet windows in order to keep relevant information grouped without having a ton of tabs.
I can open a single internet window doing this:
#Echo Off
start chrome.exe
exit
I can open two separate windows doing this:
#Echo Off
start chrome.exe
start chrome.exe
exit
However, as soon as I add a web link to either of these, the window will not open. Instead, a new tab is created in whatever window was open first it would seem:
#Echo Off
start chrome.exe "www.Yahoo.com"
start chrome.exe "www.Google.com"
Exit
These commands will open separate windows if there are no URLs, but they will open a new tab for the link if you include the URLs, usually in the first window that is/gets opened...
I just discovered -new-window here.
I will try that and report back.
#Echo Off
start chrome.exe -new-window "www.Yahoo.com"
start chrome.exe -new-window "www.Google.com"
Exit
This is what I needed. It opens separate windows for each without adding new tabs to a different window.
Right now I have a batch file I created that simple kills a chrome browser and opens up a new one to a particular homepage. I run this on a 5 minute interval with some added software that runs it if there is no activity for 5 minutes. I use this as a timeclock.
I am having some issues with the browser closing and reopening all the time. I figure I can make this script more effiecent by changing a few things.
Instead of closing and open a new browser every 5 minutes I would like to check first if the chome browser is already open and if it is then simple refresh it, otherwise open it.
Here is my current script
#echo off
taskkill /f /im chrome.exe
start "chrome" "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --kiosk "http://www.example.com/sd/clockin/testclockin.php"
To check if Chrome is currently running, you can use the tasklist command.
tasklist | findstr chrome.exe || echo Chrome is not running
the code after || will only run if an errorlevel is set by the previous command, i.e. if chrome.exe doesn't show up in tasklist. You can use && to execute only if an errorlevel was not set.
You can also just check the errorlevel using a simple if statement -
if %errorlevel%==1 echo Chrome is running
Obviously chrome is closing because you are running the taskkill command. I assume you want to refresh the open page. You may need to look into using VBScript for this. This should help - refresh firefox from .bat file/ command.
