surferdude2, thanks a lot for that extensive environment variables listing. I am sure many others would find it valuable too.

In particular, I am interested in backing up some folders from a Win2k and a Linux domain server onto a workstation, everytime the workstation boots up (usually once in the morning @around 8 in the morning) without any human intervention. I was hoping a batch file would do the trick instead of some other add-on program.

 

quick Q

I know there is a forum else where regaurding this but i was alreayd here...
and Autorun.inf should look like this correct?
----------------

[autorun]
open=blahblah.we

-------------------

now if i place blahblah.we and the autorun.inf onto a CD, it should autorun blahblah.we?

Also, whats the command to eject the CD from dos?

 

Sw33t thanks...but after researching the whole ejecting the CD deal, it seams you can't do it w/o some thrid party program....havent found anything helpful so far....anybody got answers?
