Shutting down computer without actually doing something useful is quite lame. So i’ve decided to implement a nice addition in the face of junk removal. @echo off echo Cleaning up temporary files in %TEMP% folder... echo. set "tempfolder=%TEMP%" cd /d "%tempfolder%" :: Delete all files and folders in TEMP (including read-only and hidden) del /q /f /s *.* >nul 2>&1 for /d %%x in (*) do rd /s /q "%%x" >nul 2>&1 echo.

Today i’m not planning any fancy stuff, just a plain USB drive ejector at your disposal. Script ejects all connected flash drives. If drive is in use or some software is locking flash drive it won’t be ejected [obviously]. @echo off setlocal enabledelayedexpansion set "drivelist=%temp%\usb_drives_list.txt" del "%drivelist%" >nul 2>nul for /f "skip=1 tokens=1" %%D in ('wmic logicaldisk where "drivetype=2" get deviceid') do ( if exist "%%D\" ( echo %%D>>"%drivelist%" ) ) if not exist "%drivelist%" ( echo No flash drives found!

Today we are going to make a deep dive into advanced file management and automation. There are several scenarios for copying files from external storage that are described here. ► COPY SPECIFIC FILE TYPES FROM MULTIPLE FOLDERS ON ANY EXTERNAL DRIVE TO THE LOCAL HARD DRIVE This script will copy ALL JPG FILES from folders TEST1 and TEST2, which are located on any flash-drive to folder 1234 located on local drive C.

Have you ever been pissed off by loads of junk folders like “Music”, “Pictures”, “Movies”, “DCIM”, “LOST.DIR” on sd-cards and OTG flash drives that are created by Android? There is no easy way to avoid their creation, because this “feature” is hardcoded into Android core. Of course we can root the phone and hack the system by means of Xposed framework or something similar, but we won’t do it today.

First things first. I often need to copy substantial amount of photos from my phone. It can’t be done via Windows GUI without millions of mouse clicks or keystrokes. Here you will find a solution on how to do this in a proper way. The key tool for this will be [ADB] , developer tools for Android. Wishes: command line, batch, no file explorer, no mouse, no clickety-clack. Sicking tired of all of these not-so-precise-instructions i’ve decided to make my own.

As a hardcore user of [dual-panel orthodox file manager] i always suffered because of sucky look of default console fonts. Native preloaded font list has quite scarce selection, if you ask me. To fix such disappointment you’ll need: install desired fonts by means of windows control panel copy EXACT FONT NAME fonts section in control panel paste it into registry key into following branch HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Console\TrueTypeFont note that every new subsequent font should be added by a key with added one zero to registry key name reboot computer to apply & enjoy!

UPDATED ON: 2024-09-06 Added two history videos. Not many people know about Japanese console [Neo Geo] . It was pretty powerful and brought arcade machine quality to home gaming. Pulse-pounding and jaw-dropping action scrollers were a calling card of Japanese gaming device. Comparatively to more common [Super Nintendo] and [MegaDrive] it was advertised as console with 24-bit GPU bus, which allows very big 2D-sprites, supporting up to 4096 colors. By release time [31 Jan 1990] it was super impressive.

UPDATED ON: 2025-05-26 I use these automation on daily basis to improve my workflow. All batch files are tested under Windows 7 x64. ► SHUTDOWN PUTER AND CLEAN TMP FOLDER @echo off echo Cleaning up temporary files in %TEMP% folder... echo. set "tempfolder=%TEMP%" cd /d "%tempfolder%" :: Delete all files and folders in TEMP (including read-only and hidden) del /q /f /s *.* >nul 2>&1 for /d %%x in (*) do rd /s /q "%%x" >nul 2>&1 echo.

Software is not perfect. Windows, Linux or any other OS. It doesn’t really matter. In this quick note, I will talk about Windows operating system. For basic deleting of stucked files big chance that you are already using utility like Unlocker or smth. However, some time ago Unlocker was caught in spreading malware, so no trust to this application anymore. As for me, I prefer [Lock Hunter] instead. And what about frozen processes?
