Is there a command for batch codes to change to another specific window? -


is possible put command batch file enter text specified window , hit enter key if user interacting it?

i know of handy little exe command prompt called "keystuff" capable of changing windows , inserting text, cant find has capability specify window change since utilizes alt+tab change window.

you can, sort of -- not entirely reliably, , not pure batch. can use wscript.shell com object both appactivate , sendkeys methods. appactivate let change focus window either pid or title. when focusing window title, match first attempted full title, title beginning, title ending, in order. so, example, if wanted send keystrokes firefox, shellobj.appactivate('firefox') (because firefox tabs end in "mozilla firefox").

unfortunately, there's no easy way specify part of window gets focus. if want sendkeys url bar search bar last focused before window last blurred, keys sent search bar. there's no way around unless simulate keyboard navigation (something ctrl+f focus find-in-page, tab 4 times focus url bar). can little messy.

caveats aside, here's example batch + jscript hybrid script (save .bat extension) demonstrating both appactivate , sendkeys methods. see sendkeys technet article cheat sheet of symbols , meanings (such ~ sending enter).

@if (@codesection == @batch) @then  @echo off setlocal  if "%~2"=="" (     echo usage: %~nx0 "window title" "keys send"     echo see https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee156592.aspx     goto :eof )  cscript /nologo /e:jscript "%~f0" "%~1" "%~2"  goto :eof @end // end batch / begin jscript chimera  var osh = wsh.createobject('wscript.shell'),     args = { title: wsh.arguments(0), keys: wsh.arguments(1) };  function type(what) {     var keys = what.split('{pause}');     (var i=0; i<keys.length;) {         osh.sendkeys(keys[i]);         if (++i < keys.length) wsh.sleep(500);     } }  osh.appactivate(args.title); type(args.keys);

using script, if enter

scriptname.bat "firefox" "^f{bs}{pause}{tab 4}{pause}http://www.google.com~{pause}^f{esc}"

... you'll focus firefox, send ctrl+f open or focus find-in-page, backspace erase existing search string, tab url bar, navigate google, close find-in-page footer bar.

see? told you. messy. doable.

powershell Start-Process exit code -1073741502 when used with Credential from a windows service environment -

i'm running strange behavior powershell start-process call. here call: $process = start-process ` "c:\somepath\mybinary.exe" ` -passthru ` -credential $defaultcredential ` -wait ` -workingdirectory "c:\somepath" ` -loaduserprofile if ($process.exitcode -ne 0) { #do } this call return exit code - 1073741502 . after quick search, exit code seems related generic error when program not load required dll (aka. status_dll_init_failed ). when run without -credential $credential program runs correctly. in order isolate problem, manually launched some.exe in prompt target credential , runs smoothly. so problem seems come way start-process cmdlet launch process. i found potential solutions problem tried apply no luck : link , link . would have idea of what's going on here ? edit 1: run proc mon monitoring program activities when launched directly or via powershell script. problem seems occur when loading kernelbase
