I'm sorry, but you have asked your question in a *wrong* forum. Please note that Windows XP does not include "DOS". The "Command Prompt" in WinXP is just the WinNT/2K/XP system console, which is not DOS. Below is the *quotation* from the warning messages of this forum:
"DO NOT post questions related to NT Batch scripting on this forum. Use the Programming forum.
Use the Windows NT, 2000 or XP forum for questions regarding the Windows NT, 2000 or XP "DOS" command prompt."
