hi guys,
I am trying to pull up some user information from the command prompt using VB. I read a lot about using the shell function and so on and so forth, but I don't really know how to start it. Could you please give me some suggestions? Or sample codes? Here is a part of the code I did:
p.startinfo.use shellexecute = false
p.startinfo.red irectstandardou tput = true
p.startinfo.fil ename = "cmd.exe"
p.startinfo.arg uments = "user"
............
What I get is: "Microsoft Windows XP [Version...]
What I need is to pull up some data that is stored there, that I would usually pull using "net user username" + enter
Thank you in advance!

I just wanted to add that I need to display the data into a listbox and later on I have to manipulate the data. Any suggestions?

I'm a newbie to MySQL and am really confused about when I should be using
the Command Line Client and when the DOS prompt.
I'm using Windows XP and I've just installed MySQL 4.1.10.
I can use the Command Line Client to logon as 'root'. It prompts me for a
password and then I can create databases, etc. from the mysql prompt.
However, if I wanted to logon as a different user, I'm not sure how to do
it.

Hello, All!
I'm implementing simple CLI (flat model, no tree-style menu etc.). Command
line looks like this: <command> <param1> <param2> ... <paramN> (where
N=1..4)
And idea is pretty simple:
1) get whole string of input line
2) preset table of strings matching <command>
3) preset table of function calls

My last version of Python was 2.4, running smoothly on XP with path c:

worked as it's supposed to at the command line.
Just installed Python 2.5, after uninstalling 2.4 (and also 2.3 which
had lingered). Now if I open a shell in Windows Python is not
available! Here are the symptoms:

Hi,
I'm trying to run a script over unix on a remote machine.
In order to automate it, the procedure requests the following:
1. Using SSH connection.
2. Operating a command on the remote machine.
3. Expecting password or (yes/no) request and authorize it.
I get an error (I thing that it occures at the last part (3) of the
password request).

Hi,
This is a basic problem, but I want to print help content in a Command
Prompt in WinXP and scrolling back to see the first lines. If I start
a command prompt and run python, and then for example,
it starts showing the help, which can be controlled by page or raw
using Spacebar or Enter but after this ends, it seems that I can't
scroll back to see again the first lines.
In the Command Prompt Properties, layout tab, my Screen...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
