  2. You could run the following on the problem server: for /f %i in ('wmic service get name') do @echo %i >> bad.txt & sc sdshow %i >> bad.txt Run the same command on a working server (different output file) running the same OS version, service pack, updates, and applications (may not beRead more

    You could run the following on the problem server:
    for /f %i in (‘wmic service get name’) do @echo %i >> bad.txt & sc sdshow %i >> bad.txt
    Run the same command on a working server (different output file) running the same OS version, service pack, updates, and applications (may not be identical but the closer the configurations the better):
    for /f %i in (‘wmic service get name’) do @echo %i >> good.txt & sc sdshow %i >> good.txt
    Then use your text compare tool of choice (Winmerge, WinDiff, Beyond Compare, etc.) to compare bad.txt to good.txt to find out which service has incorrect permissions.
    Then you can use “sc sdset ” to change the security descriptor on the services you identify to be different than on the good server.
    But keep in mind they could be different for a reason – something needs specific permissions set on a service to work properly. That is why the closer the configurations of the bad versus good servers, the less chance you are changing something that will
    break something else.

    Note the unlock.bat file.

    Has anyone else had access to your computer?

    To show hidden files and folders in XP go to:
    Control Panel > Folder Options > View. Put the blob in “Show hidden files and folders”.
    It might help in this situation to “temporarily” allow protected files to show but it is not adviseable to leave the system permanently set that way.

    Yes it is a scam.

    Even better in future to put that sort of line in Google before you download things. The internet is full of bogus rubbish that claims to provide magic fixes for computers. Avoid any such programs unless they have been suggested by a reliable source.

    Am I confused about what you want to achieve?

    You stated I need to create a batch file that opens a random file from a text file from which I took it that you wanted to open any file at random from a list of files. The %random% variable is used to generate a random number within a range, that number will be used to identify which line the filename to be opened exists on in the text file. The line number will change every time the script is run (almost) therefore a new random file will be opened each time.

    The script produced can be used with any file which contains filenames where the extension is associated with a program which will open it.

    Here’s a random number generator which will display random numbers in the range 1 thru’ 42 (as if 42 was the number of lines in the text file)

    @echo off
    
    setlocal 
    
    set lines=42
    
    :loop
    set /a file=%random% %% %lines%+1
    if %file% lss 10 set file= %file%
    echo The file shown on line %file% of the text file will be selected
    
    set /a cnt+=1
    if %cnt% gtr 20 (exit /b
       ) else (
         goto loop
    )
    
    

    Obviously the script is incomplete and needs coding added to count the number of lines in the text file and to open the appropriate file.

    Please come back & tell us if your problem is resolved.
