Solve : Running Windows 8 Applications via command line / batch file? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>Hello! <br/><br/>I found this awesome free alarm clock app in the Windows 8 store, that I have started to use as my actual alarm clock to wake up in the morning. The only problem is, the alarm clock app is not able to wake up Windows from a sleep or hybernating state, and has to be running in the foreground. So basically, I have to leave my computer running on full power all night, to be able to utilize this alarm clock.<br/><br/>The obvious solution to this is to use the Event Scheduler to schedule the Alarm clock <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/program-246414" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PROGRAM">PROGRAM</a> to run, a few minutes before the alarm is set! That way it will wake up Windows from the sleep state, and run the alarm app in the front! <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/perfect-1150611" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PERFECT">PERFECT</a>, right?<br/><br/>Except.. the Alarm clock is <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/one-241053" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ONE">ONE</a> of these new Windows 8 style of app that is full <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/screen-25632" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SCREEN">SCREEN</a>, it's not a normal desktop application. How are these types of program started? You click on the icon and it starts it, obviously, but the program has no clear executable file that you can run!<br/><br/>What prompted this question is my interest in the alarm clock app, but above and beyond that, I would also love to know generally how does one go about running the new Windows 8 style of App, using either a batch file or command-line?<br/><br/>There must be a way! Or if it hasn't been integrated into that level of functionality yet, well, it should be!<br/><br/>Are you with me? If the program is an EXE, the shortcut will show it.<br/><a href="https://www.howtogeek.com/190897/how-can-you-open-and-<klux>EDIT</klux>-windows-.lnk-shortcut-files/">http://www.howtogeek.com/190897/how-can-you-open-and-edit-windows-.lnk-shortcut-files/</a><br/>Quote</p><blockquote>While most people will never need to open a .lnk file to edit it, there may be rare occasions when it is necessary or desired. But how do you open and edit a shortcut file? Today’s SuperUser Q&A post has the answers.</blockquote>The icon on your desktop maybe a file of type .LNK and in that file you will find the path and name of the file that is the actual program.<br/><br/></body></html> | |
