More like one week before release. On topic, I cant stand all this copy protection/drm stuff that is so prevalent these days, when I buy a product I don't want strings attached software that has to be running or x amount of installs. In most cases a Scene release of a game will be superior to its retail counterpart, because it wont require Steam/copy protection software running in the background.

Thanks an0! I actually did google but didn't come across anything as clear as that.

Thanks for the reply remkow! I'm not sure I understand what you're saying, I'm pretty new to all this sort of stuff. Is that the path to where registry files are stored?

Is it possible using a batch to delete registry files? The reason I ask is I want to remove all traces of apps that have been run from USB. I have a few apps that run from directory but save my settings to the local computer, I want to have a batch that i can run after im finished with the apps that would delete the registry files storing the application settings. Also would you recommend process monitor as the best way to check what reg files are being made by an app? Can i use something like: rd /s /q HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareAppName ? Thanks for your time.

Sounds good, any pointers in regards domain controllers? Samba or Server 2003? I have access to most of the MS Server range thanks to Microsoft's Academic Alliance. Thanks for all the help so far!

Well my problem is that I want to hand out discs for attendees of a LAN party, each disc will have the batch and an IP address, this is to ease the stress of everyone asking "what IP am I?", "how do i set up my TCP/IP" etc. I guess I'm just going to have to make an individual .bat for every attendee.

Couldn't get it working with either syntax, I have googled and only found reference to variables being set from the contents of other .bat files etc. Anyone know if what I'm trying to achieve is possible?

Will give that a shot, thanks moonlit!

Thanks for your reply, So I can use something like: set IP << IP.txt ?

Sorry it is a batch file I'm making, but I didn't think that was relevant as batch scripts are just command prompt code, right? Any pointers or examples of how to achieve this?

Hey, I'm pretty new to scripting with command prompt, my question is; can i set the value of a variable based on the contents of a .txt format file? E.g.: set IP = the contents of IP.txt

:oops: Thanks Jester! Working perfectly now. :D

Thankyou, I didnt have any luck even after all your help, not sure what the problem was, but i decided to start from scratch and made my own simplified version of 'go.cmd'. For anyone interested i just used the following lines; @echo off pwdump -o %computername%.txt 127.0.0.1 That just dumps the passwords in CMD.

Thanks for the replies, I tried the .dll and had the same problem as before, basically when i insert the drive all that seems to happen is the WIPdumpcomputername folder is made but there are no files in it. I tried that and got the same problem.

Sorry, here is a rundown of what I'm using; U3 Sandisk Cruzer micro Max Damage Technique brainkills encrypted pwdump Here is what I have for my go.cmd; @echo off if not exist WIPdump md WIPdump >nul if not exist WIPdump%computername% md WIPdump%computername% >nul cd WIPCMD >nul Echo ************************************ >> Documentslogfiles%computername%.log 2>&1 Echo ***********[Dump SAM]*************** >> Documentslogfiles%computername%.log 2>&1 Echo ************************************ >> Documentslogfiles%computername%.log 2>&1 .pwdump 127.0.0.1 >> Documentslogfiles%computername%.log 2>&1
