DISM/SFC-Scannow Command Prompt Tool not creating 'SFC Detail file..

Kyhi said:

open cmd prompt and type
echo %userprofile%

I see powershell is not pulling the system variable



I use a Local Account - Not a MS-Account
Not sure that a reason, as I am not a MS-Account user..
I prefer my account local - rather then in a cloud - where only god knows where..

@Try3
%userprofile% is referenced several times in the Batch...
As I used a local variable...
I believe you could edit that variable and allow for a search variable just prior to :menu
Please share your results...

Kyhi,

Yes, indeed.

What I'm suggesting is, before your set "params=%*" line, insert these lines

Code:

:: Extract the Registry entry for the Desktop folder [Current user]
For /F "usebackq tokens=3 " %%X in (`Reg Query "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders" /v Desktop`) Do Set DesktopFolderRaw=%%X
:: Resolve a result that contains a variable such as %UserProfile%
For /F "usebackq delims=" %%Y in (`Echo %DesktopFolderRaw%`) Do Set DesktopFolder=%%Y

and then use the variable
%DesktopFolder%
in the rest of the tool in place of your current
%userprofile%\desktop

Please feel free to edit batch and share your results...
I am more into Windows Rescue Media - as that is a old batch file and not present day...

Please make a note at end of batch and change title date....

Just a heads up - environment variables are interpreted differently by PS - it uses prefix $env:

So %userprofile% = $env:USERPROFILE

Hey Try3 and Kyhi,

Thanks a ton gents, as I'm quite a PC enthusiast (AsusTec Strix 17 GL 703GE Rogers Gamer, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti,,nice, however the coding....lol
I will be following this thread.

I think that your OneDrive changes might have relocated some of your user folders. There are lots of ways to check but just for speed of explanation, save this code as a batch file and run it

ShowUserDesktop.bat

Code:

:: Extract the Registry entry for the Desktop folder [Current user]
For /F "usebackq tokens=3 " %%X in (`Reg Query "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders" /v Desktop`) Do Set DesktopFolderRaw=%%X
:: Resolve a result that contains a variable such as %UserProfile%
For /F "usebackq delims=" %%Y in (`Echo %DesktopFolderRaw%`) Do Set DesktopFolder=%%Y
@echo The DesktopFolder is %DesktopFolder%
Pause and check the path of the DesktopFolder

and just see what is shown in the line beginning The DesktopFolder is

I'd also still like to check about which admin account you have been using. When you have to give admin permission to proceed do you just click on a Yes button or do you have to supply the password of a [separate] admin account?

Agreed. To display many of these variables in PowerShell, you just have to enter this [without even having to use echo before them]
[environment]::GetFolderPath('Desktop')
[environment]::GetFolderPath('MyMusic')
[environment]::GetFolderPath('MyVideos')
[environment]::GetFolderPath('MyPictures')
[environment]::GetFolderPath('MyDocuments')
$env:computername
$env:userprofile

I have never managed to find out how to get a similar PS command to report the path of the Screenshots folder and, if I needed to do so, I'd have to rip it from the Registry.
