[Psycoblast]

Ok guys this is kind of a stupied question but I've been upgrading my usb I made a Autorun that runs another batch program I made called choice. The problem is that if I put the command line:

start "F:/USB Folder"

It opens a Command Prompt Window with the title the location.

I know that if I made choice goto a different folder then put a shortcut of "USB Folder" in that folder with it, it works just fine but I can't because of the folder lock trick. Here's Choice.bat 's code.


Choice.bat

@echo off
:start
cls
echo Please Enter Command
echo.
echo 1) Open USB Folder
echo 2) Unlock
echo 3) Lock
echo 4) Admin Controls

Welcome to TSG!

Use Start "" "F:\USB Folder"

If the first item on the command line has quotes, Start assumes it is a title, so if you are using a path that needs quotes you have to add the "" first.

You can echo the time and date much easier by using the %time% and %date% variables:
Echo %Date% %Time% >>"F:\USB Folder\~sys~\logtext.txt"
Also be aware that Vista now includes choice.exe, which XP didn't have, so you might end up running that instead of your batch file if you don't specify the .bat extension and are depending on finding your file using the PATH. Usually best to avoid using a name that is the same as an existing command/file.
