Hi All

does anyone know any good sites where i can get help whilst writing some batch files.. I will need it to be checking for files and depending on the file names doing either nothing or copying across from a network share, so not simple stuff, well i dont think its simple stuff.

only ever wrote a batch file to delete a file or copy a file before.

Yes, MS issued an Update a long time ago that has kill bits for older programs which used CHM files.

I figured it might not work but just wanted to check it out.

Probably a way to make it work however. :)

Windows 7 "open file security warning"

if you get the above message when opening the file, uncheck "always ask before opening this file" should do the trick for you, work for me

Sorry can't show screenshot, not sure how to.
