hello there i dont know whwther this the right section to post but i found this more appropriate then others i want to edit the install path of a dos batch file and i dont know the commands i tried to change it but somehow the changes delete data from my drive the actual commands are which i can acess by right clicking on the icon and selecting edit set CDIR=%CD%\Install Files set ID=%USERPROFILE%\Games\Unreal Tournament 2004 set TD=%HOMEDRIVE%\UT2004-TMP i want to change it to d:\games how should i do that and also there is a command line with echo * Game Path: %ID%

This is as good a place as any. There is no DOS in XP. Do you mean that the changed file causes data to be deleted? I may help to post the unmodified and the modified so someone can figure out what's going on. ===================================== Helping others achieve escape felicity M2

i want to change it Define "it"

R2, Sounds like something my old boss at UMAD would say. "define small problem" ===================================== Helping others achieve escape felicity M2

Well, whenever someone says "it," I think of the movie It.

Change this line... set ID=%USERPROFILE%\Games\Unreal Tournament 2004 with set ID=D:\Games\Unreal Tournament 2004 And yes IT would be nice to see the entire code.

Perhaps I'm missing something. Why don't you just open the script in Notepad, and make the change?
