I am deploying a batch file over a network, and I need the batch to ask which file to delete. I need the user to type in their username or their username.pwl and it will delete the pwl file. I can point it to the directory previously, so that isn't a problem, just have it say something like Type your username now and press enter, or type your username followed by .pwl (No space between) and press enter

ANY SUGGESTIONS AT ALL WILL BE A GREAT HELP!

Thanks,
J.S.

Also, is there a way to make a file read-only through a batch file or DOS?

Literally, what I am asking for is some way to record a user entered entry and enter it later as a command automatically.

Have a look at these articles for the user input :

Making a file read-only in a batch file can be done with the ATTRIB command
