No, sorry.

OK, you could try something like that @echo off &setlocal set "files=D:\files" set "folders=D:\folders" pushd "%files%" REM ***find all files ending with -form.msg and call :proc for each found file for %%a in (*-form.msg) do ( set "file=%%~na" call :proc ...

Not without reboot AND it depends on your OS (but nobody knows your OS!).

If you're on NT/2000/XP there's probably a way to append/delete the line
/safeboot:network
to section [operating systems] in C:\boot.ini.

But indeed, I cannot guarantee that it even works for Russians, Chinese, Japanese...

Then I will try to incorporate your registry information in version 2. Beware of ANSI/ASCII !! In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\CodePage you will find OEMCP for the default ASCII codepage (the cmd works with) and ACP for the default ANSI codepage (used for data into the re...

When I read your post I saw that I added a line in the former code that is probably unintendet. If you don't want the batch file creates new folders you could change it this way: @echo off &setlocal pushd "D:\Files" for %%a in (*.pdf) do ( for /f "tokens=1*" %%b in ("%%~...

Please advise me, is there a Registry Key with a fixed name that will contain as a value the variable word "Application Data" on "English" Windows, and "Anwendungsdaten" on "German" Windows, or is there some other way you can advise which will tell me the &qu...

Hmm, not for me. I tried net help and it worked fine.

Would you give an example command, please.

Alan Unfortunately I'm not that familar with permissions. But using CACLS sounds good in case you would work on a local computer. Sorry that I can't help more. It must run on foreign language systems so cannot search error messages for "access is denied". Indeed this is more complicated. %...
