Hi rade, No opther way I know of. I never think of clicking a bat. I always think in terms of typing it in. LOL If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

Hi JJ, [1] you need: goto :eof NOT: goto eof OR goto eof: [2] You don't need: goto :menu goto :eof because it will never get to the 2nd line [3] If this: "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop" is meant to change directories, what you need is: cd "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop" [3] You evidently didn't get my drift about posting your email address. [4] Not obvious why you are copying from 7 different drives. But hopefully you know. [5] Your layout is neat and sensible so I think you're off to a good start. If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

I did get your drift about e-mails. that is a very old e-mail. I have ran this Batch servral times and it came out to be a success. The point of this program is to copy all the music from your iPod to a folder and I did screw up on the C:\documents and settings\all users\desktop I know I have been meaning to fix it. You where pondering about the coping from 7 drives well, When you plug a flash drive in depending how many you have plugged in determinds the Drive Letter. So if some one else is going to use this, I dont know which drive is going to pop up. If that made any sense then you will understand where I am comming from. Thank you for your Time M2.

Once I get done I will post it here so you can check it out. Building my Computer. 15 yr old Programmer.

With XP [and other NT] you can assign drive letters so they don't go squishing around. If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

Lets say I have a flash Drive we will call it Flashy. Now my other flash drive is named Linky. So I take Flashy and plug this little guy in first his Drive title is F:\ now with flashy still in I plug in Linky, he is G:\ now. But if I plug in Linky in First he is named F:\ not g:\ any more but F:\ and when I plug in Flashy he is G:\ not F:\. Do you get what I am saying Mr.M2 I hope you do. If you don't lets just drop this subject. You are very advance and I know you know what I am talking about I am just not telling very clearly. Thank you M2 again!

"Lets say I have a flash Drive we will call it Flashy. Now my other flash drive is named Linky." I like your style. You plug them both in and go to: control panel > admin tools > storage mgmt and assign them, let's say, t: and u: End of problem. If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2
