RLJ Hi

I can’t see your batch file, but in this example

@echo off
Echo Current user: %USERNAME% > “%USERPROFILE%%USERNAME%.txt”

<Note: the Echo line is supposed to be on 1 line if it does not show on 1 line>

A text file will be created in the current users profile folder with their username as the file name with the text Current user: <username>

In XP, this would be in C:Documents and Settings<username>
In Vista, this would be C:Users<username>

Hope this is what you were looking for.

I'm sure there's just a teeny adjustment needed in the syntax. Can someone read the syntax and help? Or tell me why it does NOT place a (username).txt file ANYWHERE in the logged-on user's profile? <em><strong>THANX!</strong></em> :lol: I need this file (or one like it) in a BAD way right now…..but this one did NOT work as advertised.
