Does anyone know how to auto compete a script using the command prompt in windows?

After i type a command line in Command prompt it asks me
"Are you sure you want to continue <Y/N>:"
How can i auto type yes, Which is the autocommand line for "Y"?

Thanks buddy but that command doesnt work for me... This is the batch file i tried to run:

vsp1cln.exe

/y (=yes)

Exit

vsp1cln.exe cleans about 200mbs from updates.
What i want is make vista sp1 permanent with just one batch file.

Umm... Try this:

Code:

vsp1cln.exe /y
exit

Dunno if it'll work, just following the standard procedure.

I tried that command line before but when i double click on the batch file it just opens and closes very quickly, so i dont think it did what it was suppose to..

Alright then, open up your command prompt and type the path to 'vsp1cln.exe' into it, or simply drag the executable into the cmd window. Then, give a space and type /? after it and hit enter. That should give you the parameters that the executable can take. The command should look something like this:

Code:

<path to executable>\vsp1cln.exe /?

Ok, this is what i typed on the command prompt!
<C:\Windows\System32>\vsp1cln.exe /?
but it says Access Denied.

I even tried by running the command prompt as the administrator but no luck.

^ ^ ^ remove the < and >. It should look like this:

Code:

C:\Windows\System32\vsp1cln.exe /?

IIRC, you have to use redirection for your keyboard input to a file, but I don't remember the command. Let me search for it....

I think this will work.I don't remember/know whether it will work without creating the file.
Try this:
Create a text file file1.txt and have the data in it as 'Y'. (without the quotes)
Make sure you have the file in the same directory as the program.
Now type:

Code:

vsp1cln.exe < file1.txt

Save it as a batch file. Does that work?

Keep in mind this is an incredibly hackish(read:lame) way to do this, if it works that is...

C:\Windows\System32\vsp1cln.exe /?
does not work for me, it shows "the parameter is incorrect" and i'm sure that the vsp1cln.exe file is located in the the system32 folder.

I followed every one of your steps but it doesnt work for me also...

I guess this isnt possible.
