I would like to know some command line code that will upGRADE Microsoft Security Essentials. There is code for upDATEing, but upGRADING is more elusive.
I've been unable to do a fresh install of XBMC Live 9.11 to my hard drive. Everytime it fails at the Install System step. But I am able to get XBMC Live 9.04.1 to install successfully.
How do I upgrade XBMC Live 9.04.1 to 9.11?
I understand that Ctrl+Shift+F2 brings up the command line, but what are the next set of commands to run?
Is there any way in windows XP to create a shortcut to a file from the command line?
If not what is the easiest Winapi call to create a shortcut to a file?
This may be a duplicate so feel free to close and point me in the right direction but is there a way of getting Unix style command line recall in windows.
E.g. Opening a new command window and using the up arrow key will recall the last x number of statements.
I know this works in the command window per command window session but is there a way to persist across sessions?
I'd like to get a list of all domains pointed to a certain IP address. Is there a way to get this information from the command line?
Nothing like "host", "nslookup" or "dig -x". Those return the hostname of the IP address which, while helpful, is only part of what I want returned.
Hi all,
Is there a command line tool for Windows XP to display system resources, like available memory usage, cpu, diskspace etc... Small and requires a non-install.

I've been wondering what command-line aliases (such as in bash, or just even .bat files under Windows) you can't live without?
I'll start off with my favourite:
alias q=exit
I'd like to do something like
dir *.* > clipboard
ie. get to get the standard output of a command line program copied to the clipboard. Can this be done on a standard XP machine without additional programs?
I tried co copy and paste this to the command line but every newline is recognized as a new command start and not as part of the option:
"command -option:text
whatever"
between text and whatever is a newline which needs to be preserved.
Thanx in advance
How do I invoke Filezilla from the command line to upload the contents of a directory? I would also like to set parameters like overwrite all etc.
From help page all I see is options for opening Filezilla with specific server etc, but not to upload...
Hi,

Thanks in advance.

Is there a command that can be used from the command line to output a list of the mapped network drives on the local system and their location on the network to a txt file? This will only be used on Windows-based systems running XP.
I'm normally a windows user and I am currently using PuTTY to connect to a headless linux box that is running Fedora 8. I need to download the latest JDK and install it but I have to do it using the command line.
How can I do this?
Is there a way to restart a virtual machine running under Windows 7 Virtual PC from command line? Basically, i want to do a soft restart, same thing as clicking on Ctrl+Alt+Del button achieves.
Is there a command line way of stopping a process if I know the name of the exe (or better give a wildcard). I was about to jump in and write an autohotkey script to do it but I thought I would look for out of the box ways first.
Interested in Windows XP and Vista.
I have a bunch of avi's I am converting to m4v, and I can do this in QuickTime by opening the video and then go 'Save As', select a folder, select the type (iPhone, Movie, etc), blah blah blah. But I have around 100 videos I want to do this with. Command line options? Or batch processing options in the GUI? Enlighten me, please.
This is QuickTime X on Snow Leopard.
I like to know how to use command-line to connect to a wired network in general for Ubuntu 8.10?

What is the most damage (of whatever kind) that you have ever caused with a single mistaken/mistyped/misguided command line? I deleted a production system database by mistake a while back, for example, but I was lucky (i.e. backed-up) and there was no permanent data loss, lost money, property damage etc.
Most importantly (for votes), what do you do to make sure it will not ever happen again?
Does anyone know an easy way to write files to a DVD from the command line. I've found a program that does it for CDs, and another that writes .ISO images to DVD.
I want to use it to write files to a backup DVD overnight.
If you invoke nmake ( or any exe) on command line in Windows, Windows will search through all the path variables and append the directory to front of the nmake and execute it.
Besides path, is there any other environmental variable that Windows will search and append to the front of nmake?
