I've never done any scripting on Windows but now I need to write a batch file that downloads a file off the internet (amongst other things). If it was linux I would use wget.
Is there a builtin executable that will download a file to a given directory? This needs to run on XP.
I'm running a small home server that stores my documents. The disks in this server are in a RAID 1 configuration (using Linux md) and it's also periodically being backup up to an external hard drive to make sure I don't lose them. However, I'm always accessing the files from other computers on the home network using an SMB share, and this results…
Do you know of any application that could define the application for opening different file types?
For example, setting a default application that would open .reg files.
Or if there is not any then what do I do to set it?
i basically want to run:
C:\>xcopy [0-9]{13}\.(gif|jpg|png) s:\TargetFolder /s

Can anyone think of a way to perform…

When I set a program to open a specific file type by default, it works (like Word 2013 for PDFs). However, when I change the default back to reader, I lose Word as an option that I can pick in the open with sub-menu.
How can I get it to stick?
Update: It seems that there is something special about word. Adding Notepad++ as the default and then…
This is probably trivial, but I'm quite new to Linux and I was unable to find any info online.
In a folder, I can execute the command find . -regex '.*py' and get the following result:
./.#netMHC3.2.py
Is this a file in the current directory? What can I do to display its contents?
Thank you
My backupexec is setup to integrate with exchange, to backup the information store, versus just backing up the data file path.
My exchange mdbdata folder is 17 gigs. But my backup exec is backing up 40 gigs worth of data. I have gone through it a million times, and it's strictly backing up exchange information store.
I deleted all my backups…

Hi Guys,
I'm having an issue where after the server has been up for a period of time (~week/few days) the server will start reading corrupt data. For instance when I run a sha1sum of a file after a fresh boot it remains the same. However after a while I will start to get segfaults and from then on whenever I read this file…
