I always stand back in awe when someone finds a 70-line scripting
solution
to a standard maintenance problem that can be resolved in a single line
of
batch code. :-)

 Somewhere there's probably a Perl nut shaking
his head at your "verbose" DOS. Thankfully he's
not in this newsgroup.

Please do not put words into my mouth. While I'm aware that you like to call
the Windows Command Console "DOS" because it is a character-based
environment on a black screen, same as a unix console, I would never give it
that name. DOS was never even remotely able to do what the OP wanted to do.

a 1 line batch script wasnt really an option because user permissions
are pretty tight. so a VB script turned out to be a much better option
because it can search specific folders, and it has the option to
report back to the user on just how much over their h: drive quota the
script just put them.

Im all for quick and simple batch scripts, but this looked like a much
better option.

and this 'standard maintenance problem' isnt a maintenance thing at
all in this case, its a one off for users to run before we upgrade
their SOE because this is quicker than our user state migration tool.

and i have updated the script a little now too. The case statement
doesnt take up 38 lines any more, its just 5 now, and it reports back
how many files have been moved.
