So am I confused, that you're still using batch files. Written
anything in BASIC lately? No offense, just couldn't resist. LOL
Batch is God's language. There are two many useful command line

I have a little batch file that uses %username% to do some stuff.
That works fine in Windows XP and Vista, but in 7, it becomes
username-PC$ - so if the username is Fred, %username% is Fred in
XP and Fred-PC$ in 7. Of course, that breaks the batch file. Am
I doing something wrong or did MS really change this?
Interesting. Just checked on another 7 machine (this one 7
Ultimate instead of 7 Home Premium) and it shows the variable
normally. Now I'm really confused.
