General discussion

how to use Devcon utility

Feb 5, 2004 4:51PM PST

Downloaded the Devcon utility on a pc with winxp home edition. Running of the downloaded file extracted three files in the Temp folder---- Two folders and a text file. Each folder has further devcon exe in it. Clicking on any of the exe gives a dos window for a fraction of a second. So was not in a position to use this utility. Please guide how this is to be used.

Veshno,

As mentioned earlier, Devcon is a "command line" utility, and is something you'll need to do some research on. Most of the command switches are actually listed on the page where you downloaded the utility. Here's that link which was provided by Cursorcowboy earlier:

Hope this helps.

I doubt the original poster will receive any benefit from your suggestion.

When doing a random search about a topic, it's usually a good idea to check the date of the thread.....

Hope this helps.
