Bat.file in background

i want to hav a bat. file (matrix) as a background in windows.
how do i do it, or should i save the matrix as another format/type?
here is the matrix file:
@echo off
pause
color A
mode 1000
:matrix
echo %random%%random%%random%%random%%random%­%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%­%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%­%random%%random%%random%%random%%random%­%random%%random%
goto matrix

I felt sorry for the little guy. I have a friend who's 7 year old wanted one of those.  Here is his solution:
http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/303/30391.html
It is an older screensaver that does that.
To animate the desktop takes a very special program that can write to the desktop. If you are an experienced Windows programmer then you can do it.  It is not something a kid can easily do although some kids are pretty smart.
What we see in the movies is usually a screensaver or a window with no chrome running full screen.
There are also web sites that display this random pattern in a full screen browser.  I couldn't find the web site but look and you will find.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • Reading the registry from a .bat file

    I've searched a bit on web before asking and I apologies a head of time but my knowledge of .bat files is a little lacking. Currently I have a working .bat file I created, but was looking to adding something extra to it and just can't seem to find exactly
    what I need.. What i'm looking to do is at the top of .bat file I want it to read the registry here HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IS_DEPT\Simage\HW\Platform
    Under Platform we either have 2 types LT or DT. (laptop or desktop)
    What I want to do is at the top of my bat file have it search this key. If it has the value LT I want it to continue on with the script. If the value is DT I want it to not run the rest of the script and go to :end
    If this is possible can someone provide me with the commands to put at the top of the script with also the IF commands to continue or go to :end

    Thanks for you reply but I'm still a little lost with the reply.
    What is the rest of the commands?
    I understand this will query the registry, but what about searching for "LT or DT" and the IF/GOTO Commands?
    reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IS_DEPT\Simage\HW\Platform
    I think my confusion is how to define LT or DT as the variable. I keep finding %errorlevel%  variable, but that seems to only define on (1) or off (0)
    Here's what I have so far and I dont' think it's correct.
    reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IS_DEPT\Simage\HW\Platform /f
    if "%ERRORLEVEL%" == "LT" GOTO HOME
    if "%ERRORLEVEL%" == "DT" GOTO NOOOOPE

    Firefox sees that (at least local or network dive located) .bat files are text and renders them as such.

Not ideal I know, but better than nothing.

  • Ctrl-c in bash kill openbox started from rc file as background job

    Hi,
    Ctrl-c in bash kill openbox started from rc file as background job.
    strange, isn't it ?

    I want to have openbox in the job list of a bash. as if my xinitrc was "exec xterm" and I manualy enter the "openbox &" commande in the xterm window. I suppose this is a common wish : telling bash to read from file then from keyboard, but that not exactly what bashrc do.
    "ps j" for openbox started in bashrc

    ps have PGID equal to the bash TPGID, so it is foreground. openbox from PROMPT_COMMAND have his own PGID, so it is background. openbox from bashrc share PGID wish bash ... so if bash do not consume Ctrl-c signal openbox receive it ? I assume it is some things like this, but why ? INVOCATION and JOB CONTROL sections in bash manpage do not seems describe this, so that's a strange behaviour.

  • Using a .bat file to use Values in Registry from another Registry

    I recently starting working in an IT Department and for years my superiors/co-workers have always had a piece of software called "cyt.exe".
    When ever I logged in someones computer as Admin, this software allowed me to log out with their username still in the log in text box. We recently upgraded a large quantity of systems to Wins7 and WinEmbedded7 and that program no longer works due to the
    registry change.
    Currently the best I could to for replicating that software function as .bat file is:
    call reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI" /v LastLoggedOnSAMUser /t REG_SZ /d "domain/username" /f
    call reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI" /v LastLoggedOnUser /t REG_SZ /d "doamain/username" /f
    pause
    When I log out, it leaves the user name and password blank which is OK but I need to take it one step further. I need the values of:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI
    "LastLoggedOnSAMUser"="domain\username"
    "LastLoggedOnUser"="domain\username"
    to match the values that are in
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\SessionData\1
    "LoggedOnSAMUser"="domain\username"
    "LoggedOnUser"="domain\username"
    Any suggestions on what I need to change in my code to manipulate the registry to match those values without having to manually input them?

    - Vegan Fanatic
    "can you fix the cyt.exe program, that would be the best option long term"
    Well the cyt.exe program hasn't been updated since 2000 (version 2.3 and 2.5 were the latest versions) so I can only assume the developer has abandoned the project. The reason why it doesn't work anymore is because of the registry change going from XP to
    Vista/Win7/Win8.
    Once I have my own batch file, it will be easier to tweak it as needed when an operating system changes then it is to rely/wait on someone else to update a very specific piece of software that only has one small purpose that has most likely been forgotten.
    As much as I would like to modify the existing program, I don't have any software I can use to re-program it and I doubt I have enough knowledge or experience to tweak it correctly.
    - Frederik Long
    "You need to experiment either with reg query / reg add or reg export / reg import. Each of these commands has inbuilt help, e.g. reg import /?."
    From what I tested, the export/import copies the file and its values and placed them where I asked it too. That is not what I need. I need the values ONLY and placed within the file I need which has a different name from the file I exported from.

  • How can I use an java based app that starts via an inf or bat file?

    I have java exe application that is started using a .bat file and a java exe application that is started using an inf file. Both the .bat and inf prevent the respective application from kicking off.  Is there a way to convert these file types so that they execute on  my MacBook?

    I didn't expect you to have your customer run the command. I would expect you to create the executable and install it. However, there wouldn't be any difference in what you are creating and the .jar file. Either way it is a faceless icon. For that matter, it is no different than a batch file on Windows. I'm not sure what they wouldn't understand with, "copy the Vocab.jar file to wherever you want and double-click it to run the program." In addition, you probably ought to point out that Java is not installed on Mac OS X Lion (10.7.x) and when they double-click the jar file (or whatever you send them), the system will ask if they want to install Java.
    What you really need to do is package up the app inside a Mac application package and provide the user with the application on a .dmg (disk image). Take a look here: http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Java/Conceptual/Jar_Bundle r/Introduction/Introduction.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40000884
    I also found this which uses ANT to create the bundle: http://informagen.com/JarBundler/

    ok - I think I've got it figured.  Appears to be a known issue.  You need to apply patch p17073913_121200.
    I downloaded that and applied to my Linux version - then re-ran the UA.  This time the GUI started and so now I'm going through the upgrade steps.
    The patch is generic, so should work for your windows environment too.  Good luck.
