I'm a great fan of Basic and all those Basic similar languages which can compile to small EXEs. I spent really lot of time searching throught the web for every Basic-like language programming tool which can build/compile to small stand alone EXE files (or at least with minimum libraries), and thanks to the contribution of some of you I think this is the most comprehensive list you can find about.

D-LIB is freeware which looks suitable for packing MSI installers and resources into a small EXE to script installation.

Program Description
FVER FVER allows a batch file to perform version checking on a Win32 executable file, provided it contains version information.
ISADMIN ISADMIN checks if the currently logged-on user is an administrator (Windows NT 4.0 and later). It runs fine on Windows 9x/Me, where the current logged on user is always an administrator.
ISMEMBER ISMEMBER can check if the currently logged-on user is a member of one or more groups that you can specify on the command line, and it can also list group memberships. Requires Windows NT 4.0 or later.
MINWIN MINWIN minimizes the topmost window on the screen (useful in logon scripts).
NEEDBOOT NEEDBOOT determines if there are pending file rename/move/delete operations for the next system boot. On Windows 9x/Me, it checks for the existence of any entries in the [Rename] section of WININIT.INI; on the Windows NT platform, it checks for the existence of the PendingFileRenameOperations registry entry. It can also list the entries in the [Rename] section or the contents of the registry entry.
NUPP NUPP lets you temporarily map a drive letter, do some things, then restore the mapping to its previous value.
OSVER OSVER allows a batch file to perform operating system platform checking. It can differentiate between Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003. For NT-based systems, it can also return the system's service pack level and role (e.g. workstation, server, or domain controller). For Windows NT 4.0 SP6 and later, it can also detect whether the system is a Terminal Server (either remote desktop or application server mode).
OSVEREX OSVEREX is an extended version of OSVER that only works on Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6 or later. It returns the current operating system as an exit code and can also return its service pack level, role (workstation, server, or domain controller). It can also identify the Terminal Server mode (remote desktop or application server mode). OSVEREX.EXE may be preferable when there are no down-level clients because it relies solely on Windows API calls and does not read any information from the registry (which might fail in rare cases due to restrictive permissions).
RASCONNS RASCONNS allows a batch file to determine if one or more RAS connections are active. It can also list active RAS connections and determine if a named RAS connection is active.
WINMSG WINMSG displays a Windows dialog box with a customizable message, buttons and icon. A batch file can detect which button was pressed. You can also read the dialog box text from a text file and specify a timeout period.

Has other interesting utilities, a lot would be useful in straight batch files.

A Desktop Engineer is one of those hardworking folks that keeps a company's desktop computers operating smoothly. They generally do trivial tasks such as deploying the enterprise email client to every desktop computer in the company in a little under a week. Their daily focus is generally on how to design, build and automate the maintenance of desktop computers for lower costs and increased manageability. Although this newsletter focuses on 32-bit Microsoft Desktop Operating Systems, those who work with servers (Microsoft and non-Microsoft) will find helpful information here as well!

Welcome to ASP/ VbScript world on Planet Source Code! This site is one of the Internet's largest online databases of free code! You can search for particular code, simply browse by category, or just peruse! The site is filled with programs, .zip files, examples, snippets, and tutorials so feel free to jump on in!

A complete listing of all URLS is available if you are having trouble locating a URL.

About these Bookmarks

These bookmarks are of subjects or products I find useful (or think I may in the future). I never link to a site as a pre-condition for them linking to me! As I use Windows I am mainly interested in software for this operating system. Where good free software exists I generally only list the free software (I list some shareware and even some commercial software where it is exceptional).

If you have some completely free software (no adware and without timeouts or major restrictions) which you would like listed then please email me:

  1. The URL (direct to resource's page) - not to the download.
  2. A proposed category (existing one if possible)
  3. A short description
To bypass my SPAM filter the subject should begin "SUGGESTED LINK:".

Creating These Book Mark Pages

This page was automatically created from Windows internet shortcuts (or favorites) created with IE or Netscape (OS/2 WPS URLs can also be imported). You can comment any link or category and just about anything can be changed (links don't even need to be in tables). PPWIZARD, a free tool for Windows, Mac OS X, Unix or OS/2 built these pages using this source code .

All URLs are checked periodically using the my free URL validation tool (for Windows and OS/2). This ensures that very few if any links point to moved pages or return 404 errors etc.
