2.) With taskkill / F / IM the save process named "» DesktopOK_Exit «" does not take place!





User request:

If I exit the DesktopOK program with a mouse click, it will save an icon according to my program settings with the name "» DesktopOK_Exit «". I would have liked to have done exactly the same thing with a batch command line. If I use the command in the batch:
 
"taskkill / F / IM DesktopOK_x64.exe / T"
 
use, the program is closed, but the save process named "» DesktopOK_Exit «" does not take place.
 
It should be something with task program exit + parameters ?? In the console, the text should be similar. 
 


 

Answer:

Please use ►► program aguments in Desktop OK 

Task-Kill Kills the program and does not send a program terminate command!

Described here: ►► Use Taskkill correctly and sensibly with the Cmd.exe with examples

  My question is not there in the FAQ
Asked questions on this answer:
  1. I would like to integrate the program into a batch because I also start some other things with this batch. Among other things, a program that shows me the desktop icons as a list.
  2. Is there a listing of the command line parameters? Can I use the command line parameter to restore the icon arrangement (Name: Standard)?
  3. Is there a possibility to restore the saved icon post positions via CMD / batch?
  4. I am looking for a way to restore my icon layout from a batch file without having to use the desktop window. Is there a way to do this?
  5. The tool is basically perfect - thank you! The only thing I miss now and then is to call Desktop-OK via the command line and load a certain configuration via batch file.
  6. Could Desktop-OK , or any programs you know of, save the icons arranged manually in a folder as you do on the desktop?
  7. I know that I start the program with a simple DesktopOK.exe but not how I let it automatically load the last memory or how I can run this whole process in a hidden way! Would be very nice of you if you could help me !?
  8. Could you possibly tell me how I can call the program in a batch script and load the last storage?
