Create a shortcut on the desktop and then right-click the shortcut to get the properties. Click the Change Icon button and select the one you want from wherever you'd like - it defaults to the first one stored in the executable's program file.

I have a .bat file which I'd like to have run automatically every night.
I tried using Windows "scheduled tasks" and referenced the .bat file. I then tried manually running it to test it. A command window briefly flashes on the screen but the .bat file does not appear to be invoked.
I verified that the .bat file isn't getting called by creating a simple test .bat file which did nothing more than create a file on disk. Sure enough the .bat file isn't getting called. The test .bat file contents are shown below.
<br />
echo hello >> c:\test_log.txt<br />
I also tried referencing cmd.exe /c "c:\test.bat" in the scheduled task and this didn't work either.
The annoying part about all this is that I successfully did this a long time ago and I recall having similar issues and eventually figuring it out  If only I could recall what the magic was which made it work.
Any ideas?

None of the gurus out there know how to do this?

Have you tried changing the /c argument to /k for the command prompt so that it does not go away, you may be getting an error message and can't see it due to the command prompt window disappearing too quickly.

Thanks for the tip. That revealed the problem. The issue was that the full path to the .bat file I wanted to launch contained spaces. Despite it being enclosed in double-quotes, this still caused a problem for the scheduled task runner.
Using dir /x to obtain the 8.3 abbreviated name for the directory which contained the space and using that fixed the problem.

Is there any way we can give application installation permission to Power users in Windows Server 2003?
Thanks.

Does "change user /install" and "change user /execute" work for Power Users?
Not sure about that...

while starting system its giving error: minor error in file 38592
and then system going restart state.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/140469[^] documents what 'minor error in file' means.
The fact that it's continually restarting suggests that some other file has become corrupted. It's probably generating a bugcheck (STOP error, blue screen) but is configured to automatically reboot when this occurs, so you're stuck in a reboot cycle.
I'd actually replace this hard disk. Once you have the OS up and running again on a different disk, you can plug the old disk in and see if you can recover the data from it.
If you don't care about the data on it, try running an in-place repair. Read these steps[^] for how to do this.

You don't need to plug another hard disk in to recover the files on the old one. Come on. You just need a nice linux based live cd. Slax[^] is great for the job and it has a nice and easy gui. And it requires no install whatsoever, it'a a live cd. Check it out Cheers.

Found that the same FTP configuration instructions can be followed for Windows XP Embedded OS also.

I am trying to replace a supporting report dll in system32 folder that by web app uses. I unload the web app,disable webserver in IIS and I am unable to copy or delete the file into the folder (access denied file in use etc). Only way I can get around it is to re-boot the computer and copy over at that time. Not a very productive way to accomplish this.
Any thoughts on how to do this easier?

Hello Richard,
Thanks a lot for giving the reference. I tried to do what they asked to follow to disable the performance counters, still i did not get any solution for the problem. That is i did reset of the Dword value to 1 and to 0 back. There was no change in that error for both the values.
Kindly tell me what i should do?
Thanks,
Sabari
