|    Unintentional Typing Errors    |
|    19 Sep 20 17:05:08    |
      From: Zaidy036@air.isp.spam              In the past several people have given me advice so I am posting a batch       I made to reduce unintentional typing errors. The errors were caused by       inattention when having several items open in my text editor(Notepad++)       and command windows on my Windows PC.              The batch toggles on/off the Read Only attribute(R). Install the batch       in a convenient location, make a shortcut to it, and add the shortcut to       your SendTO folder. Test by opening Windows Explorer, select one or more       files, right click, select SendTo, and then your new shortcut. While you       may select any reasonable number of files Windows does limit the action       to 9 files at once. F:\_ATTRIB.TXT is a temp file and may be changed to       any .txt file you find convenient. This takes immediate effect in       Notepad++ without closing open files first so I reduce accidental typing       errors by making files read only except when actually trying to modify them.              :: _ReadAttribChange.bat       :: Toggles file Attribute r on/off       :: Use Right Click SendTo menu       :: Limit is 9 files at once       ECHO OFF       FOR %%F IN (%1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9) DO (       FOR %%I IN (%%F) DO ECHO %%~AI > F:\_ATTRIB.TXT       FINDSTR r F:\_ATTRIB.TXT && ATTRIB -R %%F || ATTRIB +R %%F       )       DEL F:\_ATTRIB.TXT       EXIT              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
