Solve : Basic Batch Files?

Answer»

Hello,
I've started learning basic batch FILES, and was wondering how to open docuements (I.e 'My Documents') once the Batch FILE is opened...
Thank you
,SpedzDo you mean a batch file to open the My Documents folder? If so, all you need in the batch file is

Code: [Select]CD C:/Documents and Settings/[YOURNAME]/My Documents
assuming you are running Windows XP. I don't know the layout of the other OPERATING systems that well.

Please let me know if that's not what you want. I'll be HAPPY to help.  8-)Is  this code supposed to open a window on your desktop? For me, I get an error when I try to run that code. I put Quotes around it and I could get it to cd to the directory. Please explain how to open the window up. I am using notepad to MAKE the batch file.I am using XP Professional. Thanks for your help

You need to start the explorer.
Try this sentence:

explorer "C:/Documents and Settings/[YOURNAME]/My Documents"
