I often also use START >> RUN explorer c: or explorer z: my RUN list is
littered with them

You might also find useful to know that programs like NERO also have a
command line option available
Being lazy I wrote a couple of batch filess (1 for CD and 1 for DVD's) that
I can just drag a folder to and it will write that folder to disc in iso
9660
Without further clicking etc.
Lazy eh !

Heres the data for Nero7

Again the code was messed around with on several occasions taking bits from
my backup nightly batch files that takes data off a server and compresses it
nightly and then weekly writes to dvd (not elegant but functional) -
however, I digress,  just delete one of the lines for either cd or dvd, save
it anywhere and make a shortcut to it on your desktop (or even send-to
etc)and then drag a folder to the shortcut and you will write a disc and
verify it. =


Simple.

Needless to say you will need to ammend your nero info and VERY IMPORTANTLY
Drive letter (presently G).

Code :


for /F "tokens=3D1 delims=3D/- " %%A in ('date/T') do set varday=3D%%A
for /F "tokens=3D2-4 delims=3D/- " %%A in ('date/T') do set var=3D%%C%%A%%B
set var2=3D%var%_RAR

:: AMMEND PATH
path=3D%path%;c:\program files\winrar\;c:\program files\nero\nero 7\core;

::DELETE ONE OF THESE LINES =

::THIS IS CD-ROM
nerocmd --write --drivename G --real --tao --underrun_prot --create_iso_fs
--iso %1 --detect_non_empty_disc --close_session --iso-no-joliet --verify
--recursive %1

:: THIS IS DVD-ROM
nerocmd --write --speed 4 --drivename G --real --underrun_prot
--create_iso_fs --iso %1 --verify --dvd --recursive %1


::Finish ... This batch does not automatically exit as you might want to see
the output of it eh !




Incidentally that last batch I put *** where you need to ammend data to suit
your programs

Subject: [OT] Cool Windows commandline stuff


I initially took a liking to Linux because you can do *everything* at the
commandline... but recently I've discovered a few cool things you can do
with Windows at the commandline.

For instance, let's say your pissed off with having to navigate to
"C:\Documents and Settings\My Name\My Documents", well just go to the
commandline and type:

    subst x: "C:\Documents and Settings\Whoever\My Documents"

Now x: is a drive that points to the aforementioned directory.

One thing I really like about Linux is the "ifconfig" command. For instance
here's how you'd set your IP address:

    ipconfig eth0 192.168.1.87 netmask 255.255.255.0

Well, under Windows, you can set your IP address and default gateway in one
foul swoop with:

    netsh interface ip set address "eth0" static 192.168.1.87 255.255.255.0
192.168.1.1 1

Does anyone else have some cool Windows commandline stuff to share?
