What is a batch script and what does it do? ----- Original Message ----- From: Alex Hall <[email protected] To: Joshua Klander <[email protected] Date sent: Thu, 6 Sep 2012 19:15:21 -0400 Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Technical: An Interesting Discovery
What if you run the bat file from cmd and pipe errors to a text file? Put the file in, say, the general folder, access cmd.exe using that backslash hack that was found a few weeks ago, then do this: /c start "flash disk\general\myscript.bat" > myscript_out.txt 2> myscript_errors.txt I can't remember if it is start or something else, but you get the idea.

Hello. Recently, I have been talking to someone on the list who wants to change where her cookies and temporary internet files are stored, without using a PC. This inspired me to do an experiment, which unfortunately did not work out. However, along the way, I did discover that the BrailleNote is capable of running batch scripts. To run a batch script, you would need to put it in the /windows/startup directory, and then press reset. Once the BrailleNote restarts, it will run the batch script. For anyone who may be curious, here are the details of my experiment: First, using the Mobile Registry Editor utility on my PC, I navigated to the "shell folders" string value, which is where I made the registry tweak. Then, I exported it as a .reg file. I then copied this file to the startup folder on my apex, and pressed reset. Unfortunately, nothing happened. The next thing I tried was converting the reg file into a batch script, and then copying it to the startup folder, and pressing reset. Unfortunately, this batch script must have been too complicated for the apex to handle, because nothing was changed. For now, my conclusion is that there is no way to make this modification without a PC.
