how to get the title into task manger 'window'?
I run batch files. (well 'duh') Sometimes I'll have two or more running, but when I look at the task bar, all I see of the "title" is "Adminis..." IF I hover over the mouse, up pops the popup with the full title: e.G., "Administrator: ZZ Home Agent Bat". Is there a way to eliminate, remove, not display the "administrator" part, or is that a Feature? It occurs to me,that if I could rename "administrator" to something shorter (E.G., Adm, Me, ...) that would serve as a "solution" of sorts. tschus pyotr -- APL is a mistake, carried through to perfection. It is the language of the future for the programming techniques of the past: it creates a new generation of coding bums. -- Edsger W. Dijkstra, SIGPLAN Notices, Volume 17, Number 5 |

Use the title command within your batch to set the title to any string you like. |

Just execute the posted batch file. The binary of the program is generated on the fly from the batch code (using certutil to decode the base64 data at the end of the file). Remove the "del settitle.exe" line if you want to save the exe file. |

Thanks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Title_(command) Note that this (or using "start "title" parms") will not get rid of the "Administrator: " prefix in the shell's console window. That is shown because the OP is loading the command shell (cmd.exe) with elevated [admin] privs by running the .bat file within an already opened command shell with elevated privs, using a shortcut configured to run elevated, or using runas (or some other means I'm not remembering right now). Without elevated privileges, the console window would just be the name of the batch file or the title specified in a 'start' or 'title' command. That's a feature of the command interpreter (cmd.exe). To modify that shell program, you could try the suggestion at: https://serverfault.com/questions/35...le/35587#35587 From what I saw using HxD (hex editor), cmd.exe.mui uses two bytes per character for Unicode encoding, so "Administrator: 0%" will look like: A.d.m.i.n.i.s.t.r.a.t.o.r.:. .%.0 (where each dot is 00) or, in hex: 41 00 64 00 6D 00 69 00 6E 00 69 00 73 00 74 00 72 00 61 00 74 00 6F 00 72 00 3A 00 20 00 25 00 30 00 I'm not sure you want to delete the 2-byte chars for "Administrator: " which results in a shorter string. That might fire some alert about a modified system file. Instead I'd first try nullifying that substring, so it looks like: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 25 00 30 00 If that didn't work, then move the "%0" to the front of the string and nullifying out the rest of the string, as in: 25 00 30 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 The author says there should be 2 space chars before the "0%", so maybe you have to use: 00 00 25 00 30 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Or use a different shell program with different behavior. Or load the command shell (cmd.exe) as a normal user (not elevated) if it doesn't run any program that needs admin privs. As an option mentioned in the above forum thread, if the batch file needs admin privs but can run under a different account (i.e., it does not need to only run under your Windows account), you could create a new account called, say, "A", that was in the Administrators security group (i.e., an admin account) and use "runas /user:a parms" which would have "A: batfile" as the shell's window title. Or copy cmd.exe from a Windows XP host to your Windows 7 host to some holding folder (do not copy atop the cmd.exe for Windows 7) and call that cmd.exe to load the batch file. I've read where that old shell program did not add "Adminstrator: " as prefix to the console window when that shell was loaded with admin privs. The "Administrator: " prefix in the title is a feature in cmd.exe to alert the user that they are running the command shell with elevated privileges. |

It occurs to me,that if I could rename "administrator" to something shorter (E.G., Adm, Me, ...) that would serve as a "solution" of sorts. Give the batch file a title when you run it, like: start "title" parms your.bat To see the syntax for the 'start' function, run 'start /?' at the command line. 'start' is an internal function within the command interpreter (cmd.exe). Sometimes you get "unknown command" if you just start the command line with 'start' (because whatever is the handler doesn't know you are entering a function from within cmd.exe). In that case, use: cmd /c start "title" parms your.bat ^__ or /k depending on how you want the shell to handle stdout Remember to enclose the batch file within double quotes if its path or file name have space characters. The window title will have a title of "batfilename - title". You see "Administrator - batfilename" if you are running the batch file inside the same command shell (which, in your case, was opened with admin privs) instead of loading another shell. If you want the new window opened by 'start' to close when the batch file ends, add 'exit' at the end of your batch file. -- Not a valid signature delimiter line. You used "dash dash space space" but a correct sigline is "dash dash space". Just one trailing space. |
