Installation

Selecting different HAL during installation

A different HAL (e.g. Standard HAL instead of ACPI HAL) can be chosen on installation by hitting F5 during the Press F6 if you need to install a third party SCSI or RAID driver message.

Commands

gpupdate

File management

# Recursive directory removal
rmdir /s /q [directory]

# Remove desktop.ini files from a directory structure
FOR /f %G in ('dir /b') do attrib %G\desktop.ini -h -s
FOR /f %G in ('dir /b') do del %G\desktop.ini

Power

# Display an energy efficiency report (Windows 7)
powercfg /energy

Shortcuts

Run application with administrative privileges

Ctrl+Shift+Enter when clicking on a shortcut will launch an application with administrative privileges. Works on Windows Vista and above. Usually brings up a User Account Protection (UAP) dialog.
