Get the String Length which I believe we have a function already written for in our Library here and then use a For /L loop and use string parsing to echo each character individually.

Little revision to the code above as far as getting the uninstall string. @echo off For /F "Tokens=*" %%I In ('Reg Query HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall^|Findstr /I /C:"{26A24AE4-039D-4CA4-87B4-"') Do ( For /F "skip=2 Tokens=2*" %%J In ('Reg Que...

Foxidrive, I think this is what he is trying to do. For /F "Tokens=*" %%I In ('Reg Query HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall^|Findstr /I /C:"{26A24AE4-039D-4CA4-87B4-"') Do ( For /F "Tokens=4*" %%J In ('Reg Query "%%I" /V UninstallString')...

Just a little tweaking of the script in this thread should do the trick for you.

I thought xcopy could use UNC paths so why bother doing the drive mapping?

But you could also use the pushd with the unc path and then use the xcopy command after that.

IF slick run is always sending a $w$ to your batch file then you could use the SHIFT command to get ride of the initial $w$.

You weren't perhaps screwing around with Making directories at the command line and using ALT characters. Specifically ALT-255. Whatever ALT character you used to create the folder from the command line you need to use to delete the folder from the command line.

The PAUSE command does not take any command line arguments. It requires the users to press a key to continue. Windows Vista & 7 have the TIMEOUT command. That would allow you to pause the script for a set amount of time. Your other option is to use the PING trick. ping -n 2 -w 60 127.0.0.1>NUL

Not without some 3rd party software.

Give this a try.
netsh int ipv4 uninstall
netsh int ipv4 install

Well you could use Netsh to change the IP address to some non routable IP address on your network and then change it back to whatever when needed.

netsh interface set interface "Interface name" DISABLED

Just knew you were going to say that next after I read your initial question. That would have been nice to know before hand.

%echo% is not your variable. You are using %cho%

I wouldn't use the same variable name for both of your questions. If you just hit enter on the second question which asks for the user name the variable cho is still defined as yes.
