Crazy Eddie Crazy Eddie Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2002-11-20 Posts: 105 Loc: Sacramento, CA USA	I've seen a lot of references to script handling XP/W2K with %0 in a different manner. FWIW, here's my approach: code: SET CurDir=%0\.. IF %0=="%~0" SET CurDir=%~0\.. IF Not %0=="%~0" SET CurDir=%0\.. CLS "%CurDir%\KIX412\KIX32.EXE" "%CurDir%\myscript.kix" Discussion: %0 in W2K and XP adds "" around the value of the batch file name, preventing the normal method of using %0\..\ In XP/W2K %~0 removes the quotes. Comparisons can determine the correct result, for all OSes. -Crazy Eddie Edited to show quotes around KIX and script calls. (This allows spaces in the %CurDir% variable to still work.) [ 06.

Also, there are many times you might call a kix script outside of login, via a batch. This method ensures it is always called and executed the same way. FWIW. _________________________ {Insert your favorite Witty Tag Line here}
