Adapting .REG Files.

[needs to be right-click and Run as Administrator] . .

Just double-click on the following CMD script file, which will automatically get administrative privileges.

Code:

@echo off
(Net session >nul 2>&1)||(PowerShell start -verb runas '%~0' &exit /b)
For %%i In ("E:\Testing\*.bat") Do (echo Processing "%%i"&CMD /C "%%i")
echo Operations completed. & pause

It will display "Operations completed" in the end of the process. An error message will appear and the process will be paused as long as an error has arisen. The following code in a batch file will cause such an error.

Code:

@echo off
Start "" "C:\ｆｉｌｅｎａｍｅ.txt"

Try it yourself. See for yourself.

It didn't however stop when all the .bat files had finished, it just exit!

Sorry for my poor English comprehension. What do the two pronouns "It" and "it" refer to?

Do you mean the code did not stop running even when all the .bat files had been processed?
The code will still exist in the script file but will not keep running when all the .bat files have already been processed.
When you see "Press any key to continue", just press a key, and the Command Prompt window will be closed.

Sorry, I didn't explain myself very well.

Sorry, I misread "exit" as "exist", so I did not get your point.
The following is the CMD script, in which the last command is pause.

Code:

@echo off
(Net session >nul 2>&1)||(PowerShell start -verb runas '%~0' &exit /b)
For %%i In ("E:\Testing\*.bat") Do (echo Processing "%%i"&CMD /C "%%i")
echo Operations completed. & pause

The following are the output:


When I click on "OK", it will go on to the next batch file and then display "Operations completed".

When the program finishes running it does not pause it just exits so I can't see what has happened!

Have you used the command pause at the end of your script?

Code:

@echo off
cd /d "C:\Users\System-Admin\System-Admin_Implementation"
For %%i In (*.bat) Do (
echo Processing BAT file: "%%i".
Call "%%i" & echo. & Pause & echo.)

You have to put & Pause outside the brackets.
