Almost every month, PC World publishes a few instructions for creating batch files that easily fix/change things the average user can't.



I'm hoping the editors, columnists, contributors, or some other staff member have saved every batch file ever printed in PCW so that people like me can easily access them. Does anyone know of an archive that has all (or a lot of) the batch files that PCW has published? I don't want to waste endless hours sifting through past articles to find them.

Thanks.

I am not sure, but i am sure MPH or Kelly will know, and i am sure they will reply to you. But i am sure there is, as most companies keep records.

Hi Kitrax. I will defer this to Kellie or another PCWorld representative to answer this question. I have no affiliation with PCWorld and would not have any knowledge of the batch file archives. Kellie be along shortly. I am sure she would be able to help you.

Not that I know of. It does sound like it would be a fantastic resource, though. Perhaps you, MPH, or someone else would want to start a document that is a running list of them? It could be like a community project that is updated over time.

It's worth a shot. Kitrax, I guess to get the ball rolling, please point us to the last batch file reference you noticed within PCWorld. This could be a beginning point to get a collection started.

Will do.

I'll start a new thread called "PCW Batch File Archive".



I'm going to be moving soon, and the wife is making me sort though all my PCW magazines (takes up about 2 feet of closet space). If I have enough motivation, I just might have to quickly flip through all of them to find all that batch file how-to articles.



Someone at PCW should make all the writers post the batch files they've written in that thread. :D
