Re: WinXP Batch File ???

That's what I have been doing David - editing each Desktop.ini file (it's
very tedious when multiple files/folders are involved).
I can manage a batch file with Notepad, but do not know what "vpscript and
"keys" are.
Can you point me out to some source or site to help me do this?

Thanks
