But nothing opens. ...

Thank you both for your posts. The only problem is that the shortcut doesn't contain an extension. So I'm not sure howto to do this.

Hi, I have this code @echo off setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion set dir=c:\users if exist "%dir%\." (goto 7) else (goto XP) :7 pushd "C:\Users\%username%\Desktop" type nul > %computername% exit :XP pushd "C:\Documents and settings\%username%\Desktop" type nul > %computer...

Thanks guys, it seems to be working, but is there a way to show which line has been done and which couldn't (because there weren't up and running)? Is it possible maybe to write it to another txt file?

Thanks,

but what if I have more lines. It's meant for our whole computer park (between 300 and 400 pc's). Is there a way to use something like EOF (end of file)?
