Personally I don't think this can be done internally. There must be some freeware program out there that can do this for you, but if you want to try something much more powerful, try Take Command 5.00 (www.jpsoft.com). It's a shell replacement with countless features, including *lots* of variables of all kinds and of course, the one you are looking for. It's not free, but not expensive too. I've been using it for years and believe me, once you get used to it and its wide range of commands, you never get used to plain DOS again.
