DEV Community: IT Command

I'm not getting this...

IT Command — Mon, 05 Feb 2018 16:25:12 +0000

Hi everyone, I've posted a few questions with Batch Code and I've noticed it getting a lot of "reactions" but no answers. I assumed this was a place for coding and developer questions but I'm getting the feel that nobody really knows CMD here. Is there a section I should be posting in?

Dir was unexpected in Batch

Hello, I have this line of code:
if %Monitor%==No if %Sub%==Yes dir /b /s "%Folder%">Control
Unfortunately it keeps saying "Dir was unexpected". Any ideas?

How to handle Explanation Point in a Batch file

IT Command — Wed, 03 Jan 2018 22:34:00 +0000

Hello Everyone, Today I come to you with another strange problem. My friend Josiah has a username which gets him into a lot of trouble. His username is "Josiah!". The problem with this username is that in a batch file where you do something like

Start "C:\Users\%username%\Desktop\File.exe"

it uses the ! in his username and that crashes the prompt. I was wondering if anyone knew a way around it? Thanks! -Luke.

How do I Include Click Event in Powershell Notification?

IT Command — Tue, 02 Jan 2018 13:39:52 +0000

Here's What I've Got

-A powershell script that can create a notification. This working script can be found Here
-A Batch script to call said script

Here's What I need

-For my powershell script to also start a program when it is clicked on
-That's it
I know it's possible. I don't know how. Note that I'm using Windows 10.
Here's an updated version of what I have so far:

 [void]         

 $objNotifyIcon = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon 
 $objNotifyIcon.Icon = "icon.ico"
 $objNotifyIcon.BalloonTipIcon = "None"
 $objNotifyIcon.BalloonTipText = "Body  text or description" 
 $objNotifyIcon.BalloonTipTitle = "Title" 
 $objNotifyIcon.Visible = $True 
 register-objectevent $objNotifyIcon BalloonTipClicked BalloonClicked_event - Action Start-Process -FilePath "C:\users\Public\ITCMD\Toggler\Toggle.bat"
 $objNotifyIcon.ShowBalloonTip(10000)

Note that what I have right now does not let me start a program, and also leaves the icon in the system ^ tray, and it cannot be removed without restart.(big problem).
