I even post this question on expert-exchange and they tried ...

The weird thing on your example is that I don't see the name of the batch script running. I mean, your example look like when you run cmd and then type a command and hit enter. and by the way, here is one thing that I noticed, if you install Windows 8 on Windows 7, you don't get to see this error th...
