I might add that there is this great tool (freeware from Nirsoft):
http://freehost14.we...nircomline.html
http://freehost14.websamba.com/nirsoft/uti...ircomline2.html

that being called from within a batch or .cmd file, can simplify noticeably the sintax of the commands.

It has an incredibly vast number of other uses, by the way.

Erm... %allusersprofile% for all users and %userprofile% for current user.

Those aren't for "C:\Documents and Settings" but for "C:\Documents and Settings\<User>" and "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users" wich are not the same :)
