in win ME, can i ask if what other functions the "rundll.exe" aside from shutting down or restarting the computer..
ONE more, is there some kind of code on how can batch files detect if there are any diskettes on the floppy disk drive? cause i don't like people inserting diskettes on my computer when i'm not AROUND..
and one more thing.. =D aside from ^G w/c makes the computer BEEP (very funny)... are there other commands with a "^" in it? i wonder....Rundll.exe and Rundll32.exe EXECUTE code in dynamic link libraries starting at a specific entry point. Check out Rundll

For the floppies something like this may be all you need:

Code: [Select]@echo off
if EXIST a:\null echo There is a floppy in the drive
if not exist a:\null echo There is no floppy in the drive

Note: only works if the floppy has been formated.

The alt/ctl key combination is defined by the program where it it used. For instance in DOS, ctl-c will end a program, where the same combination in a windows program generally will do a copy operation to the clipboard.

8-)ei! thanks for the info.. uhm, the code prompts:
Code: [Select]Not ready reading drive A
Abort, Retry, Fail?
