Visual Studio Command Prompt Here and Search Unknown File Extensions
Sponsored By
I found myself searching my own blog for these three things today to set up another machine for development. Here they are so *I* can find them.
- INF: Visual Studio 2003 "Command Prompt Here" (save, then right click and "install")
- INF: Visual Studio 2005 "Command Prompt Here" (save, then right click and "install")
- Registry: Make Built-in Windows Search find text in text files with Unknown Extensions (like freakin' every file)
- INF: Clean Sources - Right click in Explorer and delete all BIN, RELEASE, OBJ, DEBUG folders

Find text in text files??? A registry change? I'll be ... I wrote a patware to do the search! Well, at least mine can do regex searches !
Hey, do you know what's the registry key to modify to get the "file search" automatically instead of the "what do you want to search for" ?

I wasn't getting an "Install" option in Explorer. I spent some time googling to figure out the following one-line batch file.
%SystemRoot%\System32\rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %~f1
%SystemRoot%\System32\rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %~f1
