Code: Select all
>>"c:\programs files\ibm\notes\notes.ini" echo AttachmentUseCaption=0
In Vista and later you might have to elevate the cmd prompt to write in c:\programs files\

You may need to check if your clients are running on a 64bit OS as well. So the path will be different.

People often don't take care in asking questions, or provide proper details about the task.

How about mentioning that in your first post?

What does it matter? None of the 150 entries in my Notes.ini are even close to being in any type of order.

Probably some sort of lazy change tracking system.

Although to actually answer your question...
If you don't mind creating a temporary file, you can do something like this:
Code: Select all
:: Adds a line to the first line of a text file
:: Because the line isn't cool enough to sit at the back of the file
@echo off
set source_file=source.txt
set temp_file=temp.txt
>%temp_file% echo This is a new first line added at %time%
>>%temp_file% type %source_file%
>%source_file% type %temp_file%
del %temp_file%
