I'm attempting to write a batch file and than use 'bat2exe' in order to create a COM file, have this executable be available on the desktop within a Win98 environment, have a user double click via the mouse and have them prompted with what folder name they would like to create. Once they type out the desired folder/directory name (absolute drive), it'll close the application and they'll be back to their desktop. A little batch file I wrote will only work if a user goes to the DOS prompt, which they do not have access too. Just a simply double click via the mouse, enter the folder name and have that folder be created in a required root of a particular drive which will be in their h drive (for example) and can not be created on any other drive.
