Hi to all.

I am kinda a biginer, and i am error prone with the writing of batch files.
I have written a program that is sopposed to open a HIDDEN folder, on my usb memory device I made it work once, but i accidentally erased a part of it, but it worked before i erased.

The file goes LIKE this...

echo off

I was also having trouble with getting it to shutdown. any help would be nice, or anything you think i should add. the reason for the no directory name is that computers change the name of the directory a lot, so i want it universal, this feature worked before.

and the immage at the biggining looks deformed, but that is the diference between notepad and this.\

Thanks for all the helpalso, to add, i am on a vista system right now, but i primarily use xp. I still want it universal for any windows computer
thankstry This
