Starting Programs Faster
You must already know how to use batch commands to use this page. I accept no responsibility for any accidents you have due to badly written batch commands.
Starting a Program in Windows 7
When I want to run a quick timer, such as SnapTimer, I don't want the extra confirmations that the Windows 7 security system insists on for a security check. Just the Timer please! If you start the program from inside a Batch program, you don't get the nag confirmation. When you exit SnapTimer, the batch programs ends and closes too. The following Batch program named "Timer.bat" works in Windows 7.
Optionally, you may edit the batch window properties. Unclick "Let Windows position window". Then resize the window and hide it behind the timer. The only disadvantage of this procedure is you get two items in the taskbar instead of one.
@ECHO off
REM Edit the following line to the path of the program you want to run.
"D:\TOOLS\SnapTimer\SnapTimer.exe"
If you want to know what to put in the last line, right click on the shortcut for the program you want to run, select Properties, and copy the Target line. (When you open the Properties box, it is highlighted already - simply type CTRL+C to copy it. Paste it into your batch program editor (Notepad, NoteTab...) using CTRL+P.
