Some useful .Bat commands

first of all, to make a bat file, make a new text document [ notepad ], then save as name_you_want.bat - the .bat extension is very important! now choose 'all file types' from the drop-down box, then save to your desktop - you should have a new bat file created! if not, try the above steps again

the codes below are copy/paste right to your bat files [ to edit a bat, right-click it and choose 'edit' - it will open in notepad...

disable ctfmon.exe from running:


@echo off
regsvr32.exe /u msimtf.dll
regsvr32.exe /u msctf.dll


ctfmon is installed with ie7 - it is useless, unless you use m$ office - it is just a system hog, and isn't needed unless you use office...
