Tom, Thank you so much for your help. It is working as expected.
I have now created a second script to enable the same application that was
disabled after the DBA finishes working on the database. They should
incorporate a point system to this site. I would have assigned you some very
deserved points. Thank you again.

Three more things.
1- Is there a way of runing a command instead of the batch file. (the batch
file I was running has a one line command to disables the application.)

2- I have a lot of applications that I need to disable at different times. I
was planning to create a script for each application I need to disable. Is
there a way to modify the script you already, so that it will allow me to
select the applications I want to disable and then run either the command to
disable the apps seleted or just run a batch file for the apps selected. (I
was thinking of a window that has lets say five check boxes with the names of
the apps next to them and one single button with the title enable. when the
button is clicked on the script will run the batch file or the command for
each check box selected.Then the last window will pop up again saying "APPS
have been enabled.

3- As you can tell I dont know how to script. But I am a quick learner. Can
you point me in the right direction. How do I start learning the basics and
go from there?

Thank you one more time for all your help.
