Explorer crashes when opening folders with videos

Wednesday, February 22nd, 2006

18:52 < Kula> check your divx codecs
18:52 < Kula> and i’d recommend unregistering shmedia.dll
18:58 < Kula> to unregister that dll, do regsvr32 -u shmedia.dll
18:59 < Kula> its the thing that tells u length, does you nice little thumbnails, etc…. with certain codecs it can stop u deleting files cos it says they’re in use.

calling batch files in batch files

Tuesday, February 14th, 2006

Something I learned today:
When you want a dos batch file to run a few commands and some of them are also batch files, use “call” to start them, or else your script will stop after having called the first batch file.

Example:
file=test1.bat:
echo hi

file=test2.bat
call test1.bat
call test1.bat

output:
hi
hi
