Quite some time ago, I attended a great introductory elasticsearch/kibana workshop by Martijn Laarman (@Mpdreamz, github.com/Mpdreamz and SO martijn-laarman) that lead me into researching a lot of interesting new things:

Thanks [WayBack] Mr. Rick for the answer as this is exactly the bit I needed:
Input:
set widget="a very useful item" set widget set widget=%widget:"=% set widgetOutput:
widget="a very useful item" widget=a very useful item
[WayBack] Removing double quotes from variables in batch file creates problems with CMD environment – Stack Overflow
This trick is convenient in cases like this:
set LocalHostsFile="%windir%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts"
set LocalHostsTemplate="%LocalHostsFile:"=%.template"
The above replaces ALL double quotes with nothing.
If you want to smart replace (like done when de-quoting CSV), you need a bit more complex code like described in [WayBack] batch file – Remove quotes from named environment variables in Windows scripts – Stack Overflow, where you basically have two options:
Both work because parameters used like %~x do get their quotes removed; you cannot use that syntax on plain variables.

Sometimes your Atom installation gets so unstable that the quickest solution is a reinstall. For that you need to get a list of user-installed packages, then re-install them.
On Windows your Atom Package Manager apm is here (but not in the path), where the first is version specific and the latter the most recent version:
%LOCALAPPDAT%\atom\app-1.18.0\resources\cli\apm.cmd
%LOCALAPPDATA%\atom\bin\apm.cmd
On Mac OS X, it is here and in the path:
/usr/local/bin/apm
/Applications/Atom.app/Contents/Resources/app/apm/node_modules/.bin/apm
Save your packages:
apm list --installed --bare > package-list.txt
Install packages:
apm install --packages-file package-list.txt
For my own memory, the settings folders:
%USERPROFILE%\.atom~/.atom–jeroen

I while ago I had the error “error accessing the registry” while importing.
In my case I had escaped too many back-slashes. Not just the file names in the values, also the registry key names.
So I had key names like this:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software]
That fails, but the error won’t tell you why. The key needs to be this:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software]
BTW: you do not need regedit.exe to import as reg.exe can do the same: [WayBack] How to add a .REG file to your Registry silently – Scott Hanselman

Ah, C. The best lingua franca we have… because we have no other lingua francas. Linguae franca. Surgeons general? C is fairly old — 44 years, now! — and comes from a time when there were possibly more architectures than programming languages. It works well for what it is, and what it is is a relatively simple layer of indirection atop assembly. Alas, the popularity of C has led to a number of programming languages’ taking significant cues from its design, and parts of its design are… slightly questionable. I’ve gone through some common features that probably should’ve stayed in C and my justification for saying so. The features are listed in rough order from (I hope) least to most controversial. The idea is that C fans will give up when I call it “weakly typed” and not even get to the part where I rag on braces. Wait, crap, I gave it away.
