You might want to check out the Window XP forum right here on Computing.Net. I don't know if they've got the information you need, but your question really is Windows NT/2000/XP-specific.
Many DOS batch files execute as expected under NT/2000/XP, but a few don't. Also, severl DOS shell commands are simply not available under NT/2000/XP. Plus, NT/2000/XP include additional commands and utilities not available for DOS.

A very good place to ask is the newsgroup alt.msdos.batch.nt:
The Windows XP forum from this site (computing.net) is for general WinXP questions, but that newsgroup is specific for NT batch scripting related questions.
Though NT batch scripting is kinda off-topic for this forum, you might get some good answers here, since some people who hang around here does also have some experience in NT scripts (like me hehe).
