Interesting thought [WayBack] In windows, can I redirect stdout to a (named) pipe in command line? – Super User.
The only problem seems to be a good way of creating/removing those pipes.

List of Shell GUIDs for various Windows versions for use in shortcuts and batch files
Posted by jpluimers on 2019/01/09
In my search for starting the Windows Credential Manager from the console, I found [WayBack] Credential Manager Shortcut – Create – Windows 7 Help Forums explaining:
%windir%\explorer.exe shell:::{1206F5F1-0569-412C-8FEC-3204630DFB70}
This reminded me of From batch file or shortcut: start Windows Update (via: Windows 7 Help Forums) and batch-file trick: Starting Windows Explorer and selecting a file (“explorer” commandline parameters “/n” “/e” “/select” “/root” “/start” site:microsoft.com).
The odd thing is that some of the GUID shortcuts works fine using the shell::: syntax, but fail with the /e:: syntax, for instance Windows Update until Windows 8.1:
%windir%\explorer.exe shell:::{36eef7db-88ad-4e81-ad49-0e313f0c35f8}
%windir%\explorer.exe /e,::{36eef7db-88ad-4e81-ad49-0e313f0c35f8}
One day I’ll create a table of permutations for various Windows versions and execute options.
For now these links need to suffice:

A 90-byte “whereis” program – The Old New Thing
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/11/23
I needed a “get only the first result” of WHERE (which is present after Windows 2000, so XP, Server 2003 and up), so based on [WayBack] A 90-byte “whereis” program – The Old New Thing I came up with this:
@echo off
:: based on https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20050120-00/?p=36653
::for %%f in (%1) do @echo.%%~$PATH:f
for %%e in (%PATHEXT%) do @for %%i in (%1 %~n1%%e) do (
@if NOT "%%~$PATH:i"=="" (
echo %%~$PATH:i
goto :eof
)
)
:: note: WHERE lists all occurrences of a file on the PATH in PATH order
goto :eof
Two changes:
- it takes into account the extension if you specify it (unlike WHERE.EXE)
- it bails out at the first match (like WHERE.EXE)

Setting the sound volume through NirCmd – Windows command line tool
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/11/14
I needed this during logon on Windows machines to set the sound volume: [WayBack] NirCmd – Windows command line tool set-soundvolume-25-percent.bat:
:: requires https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html
:: 100% = 65535
nircmd setsysvolume 16000
Works on all Windows versions (7-10) I tested so far.

How do I get the IP address into a batch-file variable? – Stack Overflow
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/11/13
Since ping has a more predictible output over Windows versions than ipconfig, I use this in a batch file:
for /f "delims=[] tokens=2" %%a in ('ping -4 -n 1 %ComputerName% ^| findstr [') do set NetworkIP=%%a
echo Network IP: %NetworkIP%
