Windows 32 cmd exe. on startup

On start up, I get a window that says C: Windows 32 Command exe. that flashes just for a second. I've checked other forums, and they said to go to my start up menu in the Task Manager and uncheck it if it's there. I found it in the Google Chrome folder and unchecked Google Chrome. Didn't do anything.
Every forum I've seen so far just talks about Windows XP or Windows 7. I'm on 8.1.
I've run a virus scan with Avast and didn't find anything, I've also run System Mechanic. Also nothing. All my updates are up to date as far as I can tell.
It's not terribly annoying, but it just started up out of the blue and if I can get rid of it, I'd like to.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hello @Boo_Radley,
I have read your post on how a Windows 32 cmd.exe prompt appears when you first boot up your desktop computer, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
Does this window appear if you boot your computer into Safe Mode? Is this a recent or a reoccurring issue? What does the full error message state as it appears on the screen?
In the meantime, I recommend following any missed steps in this document on Resolving and Preventing Viruses on Your Computer (Windows 8). This should help catch and prevent any additional malware threats contributing to the error message when Windows is loaded.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, as well as the requested information above. I look forward to your reply!

CSA and Deny CMD.EXE

Hi,
I am new to CSA and have been trying to figure out how to block the Windows cmd.exe process outright? Is anyoneableto assist or point me in the right direction
thanks?

No, you should never change the built-in ruleset unless needed, in this case, you need to create a Policy, a rule module, and add an application control rule with the info i gave you. You attach the policy to the group that your hosts are in, the rule module to the policy, and generate. Just be carefull, CSA is a very powerful tool, and rules can have massive impact in your setup if you are not careful. Try it out on one machine first, this can be done be creating a group and assigning the new policy you just created to that, and then add that group to the host.

Error messages on startup "C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe

I have a new HP Envoy Desktop (2 days old); on each Restart, 2 boxes show up on the screen; 1 empty Large black box Titled "C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe; and a smaller window titled " C:\Program Files (x86)\user extensions\client.exe; which says " Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files (86)\user extensions\client.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and try again. These 2 boxes re-occur on every Restart of this computer?

Hi
The igfxtray.exe seems to belongs to Intel driver and this file is a part of quick access software to the control panel via a System Tray icon for graphics based upon the Intel.
Usually you should see a small Intel display icon in the task bar in the right lower corner.
The igfxtray.exe controls this.
So you can also disable this in msconfig.
In search type msconfig. Then choose StarUp tab and choose remove the mark from the entry containing the igfxtray.exe
Now save the changes and reboot the unit
That should disable this popup.

Requirement is to run CMD.EXE under the Local System Account. So that we can map a network drive to be used by a windows service, which will be created by command: - net use z: \\servername\sharedfolder /persistent:yes

Environment:
OS: Windows 7 32/64 bit, Windows 2008 Server 64
bit/ Windows 2012 Server 64 bit
Priority:
- Critical
Requirement: - Since
the Windows Service is running under the Local System Account, we would like to emulate this same behaviour.
Basically, we would like to run CMD.EXE under the Local System Account. So that we can map a network drive to be used by a service using following
command
net use z: \\servername\sharedfolder /persistent:yes.
Already Attempt:
We tried to launch the CMD.exe using the DOS Task Scheduler AT command. Here’s a sample command:
AT 10:36 /interactive cmd.exe
But I received a warning that “due
to security enhancements, this task will run at the time excepted but not interactively.”
It turns out that this approach will work for XP, 2000 and Server 2003 but due to session isolation
Interactive services no longer work on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and above.
2. We
tried to create a secondary Windows Service via the Service Control (sc.exe) which merely launches CMD.exe.
<Drive>:\sc create RunCMDAsLSA binpath= "cmd" type=own type=interact <Drive>:\sc
start RunCMDAsLSA
In this case the service fails to start and results it the following error message:
FAILED 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
3. One
suggestion, we found to launch CMD.exe via a Scheduled Task, but
it is not giving any option to launch CMD.exe in interactive mode; so that I can map network drive using net command.
4. I read an article, which
demonstrates the use of PSTools from SysInternals. I launched the command line and executed following command
psexec -i -s cmd.exe
PSTools worked fine, but It seems that in scope of Sysinternals Software License
Terms. You may not "use the software for commercial software hosting services."
Application will deploy on client, which will be like commercial,
so we are not able to use PSTools.
Kindly assist us for achieving the requirement. We have tried all the ways, but nothing is working for us. Kindly suggest.
I will be really thankful.

Hi Sir,
Nothing worked from above for us. You can see our remarks on posted query.
That’s why, we posted on forum.
And there will not be any vulnerability, because, if we will use "net
use ..."
in network domain; definitely,
we will provide username and password of mapped drive system.
And, that system, itself is given by client; so that, there must not be any vulnerability; they are ready to provide user name and password.
We need a way; by which we can complete the requirement. Kindly assist.

Windows 8 installation of VPN Client Software (x86 64-bit version) results in "Icon09DB8A851.exe" on startup task

I've just installed a VPN Client Software for x86 64-bit version of Vista and Windows 7 (vpnclient-winx64-msi-5.0.07.0440-k9.exe) to Windows 8. It's working without problem except that it seems to add an entry "c:\Windows\Installer\{5FDC06BF-3D3D-4367-8FFB-4FAFCB61972D}\Icon09DB8A851.exe" onto startup task. I suspect the installer program (InstallShield) is not working properly. I'd like to know if anyone has same issue or my computer got infected in malware.

Cmd.exe window does not open in apache jserv

cmd.exe window does not open in apache jserv
I need to call a dos program from a servlet running on apache jserv1.1.
I develop with Jdeveloper wich has got a built in webserver to debug servlets.
With Jdeveloper it works fine (a dos windows opens), but when I deploy it to apache it doesn't work. The process is started, but no dos window opens. Should I change settings of jserv, is this a bug, does anyone know?
The (beta) code looks like this
String cmd = "c:\\temp\\cmd.exe /c \"start /min /wait /b dosprogram \"";
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
BufferedReader lsOut = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader (p.getInputStream()));
BufferedReader lsErr = new BufferedReader (new InputStreamReader (p.getErrorStream()));
try {
p.waitFor();
int completionStatus = p.exitValue();
out.println( "<br>Exit Status: " + completionStatus );
catch( InterruptedException ex ) {
out.println( "Executable program (" + cmd + ") was interrupted." );
while(( line=lsOut.readLine()) != null) {
out.println("<br>lsout====>");
out.println(line);
while ((line2 = lsErr.readLine()) != null){
out.println("<br>Errout====>");
out.println(line2);
catch(SecurityException e) {
out.println("Security Error: " + e);
catch(IOException e) {

Many dead cmd.exe on Windows 2008 R2 Oracle 11.2.0.2 RAC Installation

After successful installation of a two node Oracle RAC 11.2 on Windows 2008 R2 we investigate a daily growing number of cmd.exe all running the following statement:
*C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /K D:\oracle\cluster\11.2.0\grid\bin\cluvfy comp health -_format*
Does anyone know the originator/source of this "cluvfy" command?
Maybe the Grid Control Agent?
We think, that the "/K" option is the problem, i.e. the reason while the cmd.exe will not terminate.
When we run the "cluvfy" manually everythings results successfully.
Thanks for your reply.

I have done the same and get the run around from the support tech when I ask for clarification. Even asked duty manager for assistance and was sent right back to the support tech that I could not get conclusive answers to my question from the first time. Seems he is telling me that he opened a new bug up for my answer but the description of the problem is not the same so how can I believe him. He wants me to apply patch 12 but I thought the later patches set are supposed to contain previous patches, so why not apply patch 14 or newest. Seems none of the patches show that they solve the Windows Heap Issue for 11.2.0.3. Even the bug note says it will be fixed in 11.2.0.4. Just one more reason we are planning (although against my better judgement) to move away from oracle.

Allow a windows non-administrator user to run cmd.exe as administrator without sharing administrator password with the user

I have standalone Windows 2003 and 2008 Oracle database servers (they are not in a Windows domain environment ). The Oracle DBAs can perform all their routine activities from command line with administrator privileges. For this i've to either share administrator
user password with the Oracle DBAs or add their windows login user to Administrators group. If i can give the DBA user permission to run windows command prompt without sharing administrator password, i can give them non-administrator login access to Windows
2003/2008 server. Normally when a non administrator user would try to run a program as administrator on Windows 2008, the user is prompted to input administrator username/password. Is it possible to give non-admin user access to run a program/application (cmd.exe
in this case) on Windows 2003/2008 without sharing administrator credentials with them?

With the OTORISER application I developed, normal users can run applications with admin privilege …
Otoriser is totally free ! Applications, mmc consoles, control panel cpl files can be run under admin and system context with Otoriser. Let’s say you donot want your users to be admin in their machines, but want them to run some applications with admin rights.
If this is the case then you are on the right blog.
There are two components for Otoriser. Management and client components. There are no complex implementation and no frustrating steps to be performed. Within 10 minutes you can start testing the results
After you download the setup files, install client components in the client by running it directly (or any deployment method you have), it will take about 5 seconds to install it. Then, let’s say you want your user to change system properties of the machine.
With the tool provided in Admin package produce the hash of system.cpl file and enter that hash into the group policy (details are provided in documentation). When policies are applied for that user then he or she can run that control panel applet under admin
context but donot forget that the user is still an ordinary user.

Boot Camp 2.1 HELP? cmd.exe?

I have been trying to update my Boot Camp to 2.1, and I have experienced the issue in the following support article.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1845
The article suggest that I do the following.
In Windows, start a command prompt (cmd.exe, sometimes referred to as a command shell). Use Administrative rights if running Windows Vista.
Type one the following command lines in the command shell:
For Windows XP, type: msiexec /update <path to the .msp file>\BCUpdateXP.msp
Can someone give me a dummies guide to how this can be done?
How do I launch "cmd.exe"?
What is <path to the .msp file>?
Thank you!

For anyone interested in the answer to this issue, I have summarized a quick fix.
1)
“Cmd.exe” can be accessed via the “Start” menu and “Accessories” in Windows XP.
2)
To get the “path to file”, simply drag the icon of the update into cmd.exe, and the path will be shown in its proper command sequence.

WINE err:"wine cmd.exe /c echo '%ProgramFiles%' returned empty string"

So as the tittle states WINE is throiwng this error:
wine cmd.exe /c echo '%ProgramFiles%' returned empty string
As for what might have caused it? probably the last system update which was performed a few days ago, my old prefix works fine but I have a habit of creating new prefixes for troublesome applications, or applications I am unsure of whether they will cause trouble or not.
Hence I created a new prefix using:
export WINEARCH=win32
export WINEPREFIX=~/.problematic
winecfg
As for how wine is run, it's run as a normal, unprivileged, user.
Oh and I also tried generating yet another prefix like this:
$ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.problematic-new winetricks steam
Executing w_do_call steam
wine cmd.exe /c echo '%ProgramFiles%' returned empty string
Didn't work either.
I'm at loss, any suggestion on how to fix it?

$ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/testprefix notepad.exe

wine: configuration in '/home/shiina/testprefix' has been updated.
Wine cannot find the ncurses library (libncursesw.so.5).
why is ncurses a dependency anyway? besides, wicd-curses works so this shouldn't be the case.
Anyway, trying winetricks in the same prefix
$ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/testprefix winetricks steam
Executing w_do_call steam
wine cmd.exe /c echo '%ProgramFiles%' returned empty string
Anyway, I expected notepad to work since it resides in %WINDOWS% not %ProgramFiles%
Is there any registry key I can set for this? all my google searching says this can cause with a mismatch of wine versions but why would that happen?
Either way checking wine --version outputs wine-1.7.20 which is the same as it was pre-update (when it still worked).

Stop weblogic services using StartStopServices.xml parameter leaves cmd.exe

When using the "Start > All Programs > Oracle Business Intelligence > Stop BI services" function it calls the StartStopServices.cmd file. This file then references the StartStopServices.xml file using the following statement;
<target name="stop_all" depends="set.is.stop.all, opmn.stop, wls.mgd.stop, wls.wait.mgd.shutdown, del.generated.managed.server.credentials, wls.stop, wls.wait.admin.shutdown, del.generated.admin.server.credentials">
     </target>
     <target name="set.is.stop.all">
     <property name="is.stop.all" value="true"/>
     </target
The problem that I'm having is that when the weblogic services are successfully stopped, 2 cmd.exe windows are left open on the server. I've created a batch file to call the StartStopServices.cmd and added parameters such as
Sleep.exe 30
c:\windows\system32\TASKKILL.exe /F /IM cmd.exe /T
Theoretically this should pause for a few, and then close the open cmd windows. However whenever the StartStopServices.cmd is called it closes the original command window before any statements are executed. So essentially I don't get to the taskkill or sleep parameters. I'm assuming that I need to edit the XML file somewhere to make it so it doesn't stop_all and close, but simply stops all and allows my added entries in the cmd windows to execute so ALL cmd windows are closed.
I'm scheduling a backup using RMAN in NOARCHIVELOG mode, and need to stop the weblogic processes in order to complete this backup function. However I need to end these cmd windows otherwise over the course of time they will be cascaded everywhere. Has anybody accomplished this?

Hope still you need a solution for your question.
Follow these steps to achive as expected file using StartStopServices.xml, do let me know for any questions.
File loc: MW_HOME\instances\instance3\bifoundation\OracleBIApplication\coreapplication
1) I've added a new target attribute( as 'veera' to existing code) at the end of the tag
<target name="stop_all" depends="determine.language, set.is.stop.all,find.or.get.credentials, opmn.stop, wls.mgd.stop, wls.wait.mgd.shutdown, del.generated.managed.server.credentials, wls.stop, wls.wait.admin.shutdown, del.generated.admin.server.credentials, veera">
</target>
2) Added new code as show below
<target name="veera" if="wls.domain.exists" depends="wls.check.exists" description="Stop WLS">
<echo message="Srini..." />
<exec spawn="true" executable="cmd.exe" osfamily="windows" dir="${DOMAIN_HOME}/bin">
<arg value="/c" />
<arg value="taskkill /f /IM cmd.exe" />
</exec>
</target>
If it is helpful, please mark as correct or helpful
Cheers,

Issue with cmd.exe.

Opening cmd.exe and clicking and/or moving the cursor deletes part of the screen. See picture. W10x86

Mooly01,
Windows 10 defaults to having QuickEdit mode enabled as a default. If you want to disable it for all Command Prompts, you will need to de-select it in two places.
Right-Mouse click the title bar and choose Defaults.
Uncheck QuickEdit Mode.
Right-Mouse click the title bar and choose Properties.
Uncheck QuickEdit Mode.
