I want to execute some commands for my Safari web browser mainly to disable auto-refresh. And it is seems that the only way to do so, is to use the terminal to write commands. But I am using windows 7 and I am not sure how/where I can open the terminal? As I know that Terminal are used inside Unix?

EDITED::

I have run the following command on windows 7 "C:\Program Files (x86)\Safari\Safari.exe" /enableInternalDebugMenu" . but the problem I am acing now is that there is no option to stop auto-refresh under the debug menu. I am using safari 5.1.7.any idea?. I have un-checked the "Use multi-process tabs" option, but it did not solve the auto-refresh problem.

Windows has a terminal (a couple if you include PowerShell), but their syntax is very different to Unix/Linux shells. What commands in particular are you looking to translate from *nix to Windows?

To open the normal terminal (Command Prompt), Win+R -> cmd -> enter. Also note that Windows uses backslash \ as the path separator, rather than the Unix forward slash /.

    @MarkCowan, you can edit your original post isntead of adding details via the comments. Editing your post is preferable here on SU.

  • @JohnJohn that looks like some Apple-specific program that you're calling, you'd probably be best looking on the Apple support forums or the Safari for Windows documentation.

The way to disable auto refresh under the debug menu is to uncheck 'Use Multi-process Tabs. Btw, Safari under XP crashes and dumps intermittently anyway, but I sometimes use it because I am a pack rat and have too many open tabs on all the other browsers :-)
