RestartUsbPort V1.0.3 — Restarts a USB port
 


Usage:
RestartUsbPort [PortId] [-l] [-na] [-w:nnnn]
PortId can be
 a device instance ID (in quotation marks because it contains the & char)
 a driver key name
 a device location info
 a friendly device name (in quotation marks if it contains space or &)
 a port chain in UsbTreeView style
-l      lists USB ports that can be restarted
-na     no about info
-w:nnnn waits nnnn milliseconds on end




Samples:

RestartUsbPort -l

RestartUsbPort "USB\VID_0781&PID_5580\AA010319131128161470"

RestartUsbPort {36fc9e60-c465-11cf-8056-444553540000}\0007

RestartUsbPort Port_#0002. Hub_#0008

RestartUsbPort "Sandisk Extreme"

RestartUsbPort 1-4-2

RestartUsbPort 1-4-2 -w:1000



If the & char is used in a parameter then, if started from a command-prompt or a BAT/CMD file, the whole parameter must be enclosed by quotation marks. Otherwise the command processor interprets the & char as separator for two separate commands.


Admin rights are required under Win 8 and 10 (or an active USBDLM command interface).


Returns Errorlevels:


0 — successfully restarted the USB port

1 — no parameters

2 — invalid parameters

3 — given ID not found or no device is attached to the port

4 — restart tried but failed


Background information


This tool calls
IOCTL_USB_HUB_CYCLE_PORT which, Microsoft says, power-cycles the USB port and thus initiates a re-enumeration of the attached device.

If there really is a power-cycle performed then it must be very short. ..

The function is available under XP but usually only for hubs which run with the
Microsoft standard driver. 3rd party drivers usually return
ERROR_UNKNOWN_FUNCTION.

Under Vista and Windows 7 it is no more supported by the Windows standard
drivers, it always fails with ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED.

Since Windows 8 it works again but in contrast to XP admin privileges
are required. Without admin privileges it fails as under Vista and Win7
with ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED or since Win10 version 1903 with ERROR_GEN_FAILURE,
which both are quite missleading here since it’s a privilege issue.

Device Cleanup Tool V1.2.1 — removes non-present devices from the Windows device management
 


Each once attached device leaves an entry in the Windows device management. By means of the Windows device manager you can delete one by one only. With this tool you can delete multiple or all non-present devices.


The ‘last used’ time comes from the write time of the device’s registry key
under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum, on some Windows this seems to be set on boot or any other time.

Non-PnP devices and ‘soft’ devices are not listed by default, this can be changed in the Options menu.

Device Cleanup Cmd V1.2.0 — removes non-present devices from the Windows device management
 


This is the command line version of DeviceCleanup, see above.


DeviceCleanup V1.2.0
Uninstalls non-present devices
Freeware by Uwe Sieber - www.uwe-sieber.de

Usage:
DeviceCleanupCmd pattern1 [pattern2] [patternN] [-e:excludepattern1][-t][-s][-m:age][-v][-n]
-e:excludepattern  pattern not to remove
-t  test only
-s  skip creation of a system restore point
-m:age  minimum 'age' (last use of the device must be at least that old)
-v  verbose
-n  no wait when finished

Patterns are device IDs, device classes or friendly names. Wildcards can be used.

Samples:
remove all devices whose device IDs begin with HID\VID_045E
DeviceCleanupCmd HID\VID_045E*

remove all devices whose device IDs contain VID_045E
DeviceCleanupCmd *VID_045E*

remove all bluetooth devices but not COM9 and COM10
DeviceCleanupCmd BTH* -e:"* (COM9)" -e:"* (COM10)"

remove all non present devices whose device class is Media
DeviceCleanupCmd Media

remove all devices not used for 1 year or more (m - month, d - days, i - minutes)
DeviceCleanupCmd * -m:1y

remove all devices
DeviceCleanupCmd *

show which devices would be removed (test mode)
DeviceCleanupCmd -t *



Non-PnP devices and ‘soft’ devices are not deleted because they are not automatically
reinstalled. These are devices whose ID begins with

— HTREE\ROOT\

— ROOT\

— SWD\

— SW\{

If you want to delete them, use a pattern that begins with one of these strings.
Or use the GUI version of DeviceCleanup and activate the listing of these devices in the Options menu.

A related tool is DriveCleanup which removes devices only releated to drives and cleans some drive specific registy items.


 






 
RunAsSystem V1.3.6 — starts a process in the SYSTEM context
 



RunAsSystem is helpful when admin privileges are not enough. For instance since Vista there are registry keys whose owner is the administrator but without the privileges to write or change the rights.


RunAsSystem passes the window style and its process priority to the exeucted process. Both can be overruled by commandline params.

By default it waits for the started process to end and then passes back its return code (aka errorlevel). But it is a Windows application, in a batch file you have to put a «start /wait» in front.

Started with -nowait it returns 0 immediately when the process has started.

Some programms do not work and end immediately in the System context because of missing settings for the current user.

Up to V1.2 this worked under XP only if the Sysinternal ProcessExplorer was running before, it seems that it changes the process access privileges to gather all the information but forgets to restore the found privileges.


Usage:


RunAsSystem [-nowait] [-min|-max|-normal|-noact|-hid] [-low|-below|-normal|-above|-high] "executable" [params for executable]



Samples:


RunAsSystem "%windir%\regedit. exe"

RunAsSystem "%windir%\System32\cmd.exe" /k dir /s "C:\System Volume Information"



Download: RunAsSystem.zip

HidRun V1.0 — starts an executable hidden
 


HidRun starts a program hidden by starting it with the SW_HIDE flag.

Some programs ignore it!


Usage:


HidRun "" 



Samples:


hidrun calc

"C:\My Tools\HidRun.exe" "C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe" /c del "%temp%\*" /s /q



Hint:
On x64 Windows the Win32 version of HidRun would get redirected from C:\Windows\System32
to C:\Windows\SysWOW64.


HidRun is not a console application, so no console windows gets created for it.

It does not wait for the started app to end, so it cannot pass the app’s return value.


Return value (aka Errorlevel) is 0 if the app has been started, above 0 otherwise.

CloseWindow V0.3 — closing windows
 



CloseWindow closes windows by commandline. For identifying the right window either the window text (the caption) or its class must be given at the commandline.


CloseWindow -text="windowtext" -class="windowclass"



Wildcards can be used.


Sample: Close all Windows Calculators


closewindow -text="Calculator" -count=999


Sample: Close Explorer window (XP) of drive U:


closewindow -text="U:\*" -class="ExploreWClass"


Sample: Close Explorer window (Vista+) of drive U:


closewindow -text="U:\*" -class="CabinetWClass"



The window class can be determined by my tool WinInfo


This works within the same user context only: If you want to close a program started «As Administrator» under Vista+ then CloseWindow must be started «As Administrator» too.

FindEXE V0.5 — find the full path to an executable file
 


FindEXE is a commandline tool which shows the path of an executable which Windows would start.


Samples:

ConsoleNoClose — Deactivates the close button of one or all console windows
 


ConsoleNoClose disables the X button and removes the Close system
menu item of all console windows when they become active.


It runs invisible in the background.


If it’s started when another instance is running, it ends and
leaves the previous instance untouched.



To remove a previous instance from memory, run it with parameter /R
or /RH (hidden, no messagebox).


To do it for exactely one console window, start it with parameter /1.
It will then disable the X button of the first console window that
becomes active. Then it ends.


Started with /ALL it deactivates all menus of console windows. They
cannot be closed, maximized, minimized then. No access to settings
anymore.


With Fast User Switching it works within the same session only.


Under Vista and Windows 7..11 it must run elevated («As Administrator»)
to do it with elevated console windows.


Sample to deactivate all system menu items of the next console window:


ConsoleNoClose /1 /ALL


It has no effect on the close button shown by the Windows TaskBar.

COM Name Arbiter Tool V1.0.5 — gives control over reserved COM port numbers
 


Whenever a new COM port is installed, Windows looks for the first
never used number. This ensures that there are no conflicts when
two of the devices are attached at the same time.


In real live the users do not use their devices (as USB to COM adaptors)
at the same time, but the COM numbers increase and increase because
the reservation is not removed when the COM port device is uninstalled
from the Device Manager. After 25 years Microsoft finally fixed this in
Windows 10 version 1903, here the reservation is removed when a device
is uninstalled, so this tool isn’t needed anymore. ..


Windows stores used COM port numbers in the registry in the value ComDB under

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\COM Name Arbiter


By default there are 32 bytes with 8 bits in each byte. A set bit makes a
port number (1..256) reserved. Over time Windows might exceed 256 ports,
COM Name Arbiter Tool can handle this.


Changes are written immediately to the registry, admin privileges are required.


Removing the reservation does not do anything else than making Windows
reassign the number to a new device when it is attached.

As long as the new device is not attached at the same time as the
device which had these COM port before there is no problem.

If the devices are attached at the same time then the second one will
not start because it cannot create its «COMx» symbolic link. This happens too
if a new device wants to get a port which is supposed to be free because
its arbiter bit is not set but in fact the port is in use! So don’t
clean up to much. ..


The tool can also uninstall (remove) devices.


Started with parameter /c it performs silently the «Clear unused reservations» operation.

Started with parameter /r it performs silently the «Remove non-present devices» operation.

      1. Settings

      These settings are automatically opened immediately after installation in order to be able to configure them KCleaner . But you can return to them at any time later.

      The settings section «Types of files» allows you to choose what exactly will be deleted when you press the «Clear» button or in automatic mode:

      • Cache, temporary files, files of records about events and errors of Windows itself;
      • Cache, cookies, temporary files, browser logs;
      • Cache of some popular programs;
      • Nvidia driver cache;
      • Cart contents. nine0003

      All of these are set to delete by default. If necessary, we can supplement this list, in particular, with duplicate Windows component installers and update uninstallers. Or, on the contrary, uncheck some data types — for example, cookies and cache of the browser used, so that you do not start working with the Internet from scratch each time.

      2. Secure Erase

      The Data Security settings section does not default to Secure Erase. Everything that is cleared will be deleted from the hard drive in the usual way. By pressing button «Secure» the program activates secure settings for deleting files — with their encryption, truncating names and three passes of destroying records on the hard disk.

      3. Expert mode

      The cleaning process initially does not provide for informing the user about specific files to be deleted and their paths. To do this, you need to switch to expert mode. In it, we will be able to adjust the list of things to be cleared for each separately performed procedure — uncheck specific files and go to their storage folders for manual destruction. nine0003

      4. Automatic cleaning

      To enable automatic cleaning of Windows, click in the main window KCleaner button «Run» . And confirm the inclusion of automatic mode.

      When the frequency of this procedure is no longer necessary, turn off this mode.

      By default, automatic cleaning will run every hour.
