    Hi Mr Shawn Brink how are you? I think I confused everyone.What I have done is to download the Auto not manual .bat. I have Pinned a shortcut to the Quick launch bar and what I wish to do is- Click on the shortcut make the program run without any input from me then close itself when it has completed the task. I tried putting exit or end as the last line but nothing happened. I do not know enough about MS-DOS commands to make this work. Could you please help? Thank you again for all your help.

    Best wishes UGGY.

    Uggy,

    Ok, you are using the BAT file download then. I would love to help, but I really need you to post a screenshot of the CMD window showing what it's saying inside to see if you may have an error message in it or not. If you do, then that may be why it's not closing automatically like it should. :)

    Are you right clicking on the downloaded .bat file and clicking on Run as administrator when you run it?

    I seem to have made a right mess of a simple job. I seem unable to read and send you a screenshot. I thought that I had done it but did not read the screen. I think I have it now. Thanks for you patience and help. I am getting too old at 66 I think. Best wishes UGGY.

    I have spent quite some time looking at the attachments and can't find the .bmp. Is there any way to get on there or have I made another mistake. I tried saving the screenshot in several .bmp progs but the attachments does not show that extension. Thanks again UGGY

    Uggy,

    Thank you. No errors, so that means that the only thing left is that you just needed to right click on the downloaded .bat file and click on Run as administrator. It should run and close the CMD window after that.

    Hello everybody and especially Brink.

    I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate x64, it is a fresh installation and gadgets don't display correctly.

    I did all what you said:

    Deactivated my antivirus and firewall (ESET 5)
    Run the .bat as an administrator

    But it didn't work.

    It is funny because the original gadgets are working, but not the "addgadget" ones.

    Do you have an idea?

    You can see on the image on top right what is displayed: just small white squares

    erOz,

    Since your Windows 7 is in another language, look at the file names in OPTION TWO to see if they may be different in your system since they in English instead. If they are, then substitute the language version of it instead.

    Hi,

    I used BAT File and option two but I didn't work. Deactivated my antivirus and firewall and system restore. Do you have an idea?

    Sorry for my bad English.
