Bjoern, the line  Core D = 6 = 00001000 should be Core D = 8 = 00001000, and from there on Core E = 16, Core F = 32, Core G = 64, Core H = 128.

6 in digital should be 00000110 and not 00001000 which is 8

 

Just cross-checked with a post on MSDN and you're right. Seems like the poster on StackOverflow got his numbers wrong.

 

 

New numbers ("associated value" column):

Excellent info in this thread !

 

Its good to see the "good old" DOS / Command Mode batch functions discussed as an option, as there is indeed a lot of control which can be achieved via these methods, especially when considering batched use of the:

 

NET command: http://en.kioskea.net/faq/2421-windows-start-stop-a-service-via-the-command-prompt

 

NETSH command: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/242468

 

 

Although quite a lot can be done via these do-it-yourself batch methods, IIRC, it was apparent during more far-reaching use of AlacrityPC to disable / re-enable  selected Windows 'Services' (those not needed during MSFS sessions etc.), extensive testing was required to discover what procedures must be used to successfully control Services:

 

 

* Knowing which Windows Services can be disabled

 

* Knowing which Services are interdependent

 

* Knowing which Services require a specific order for loading / termination

 

* Knowing how long to wait for each Service to "end process" before disabling another

 

...Then:

 

* Knowing which Services can be re-abled without re-starting Windows

 

* Knowing which Services are interdependent

 

* Knowing which Services require a specific order for re-loading

 

* Knowing how long to wait for each Service to "initialize" before re-enabling another

 

AFAIK, AlacrityPC provides "profiles" which incorporate proper sequenced controls of selected Windows services

Also, AlacrityPC itself can be started via a batch routine from the command line:

 

"How can I launch a profile programmatically (for example, from a script?)

 

You can launch a profile by starting the program 'alacritypccontrol.exe' located in the folder where you installed AlacrityPC with the following command line:

 

alacritypccontrol.exe -p profile_filename

 

The profile_filename does not have a path, just the filename."

 

 

NOTE: "Profiles" must be in AlacrityPC Profiles folder located in [Windows user account name]\Documents.

Hope this helps ! :smile:

Old thread but I have a newbie question.

 

What happens when the exe file has spaces? (AS Cloud Art.exe)

 

Tried quotes but didn't work.
