Default How do you make a batch file accept 1-char keyboard input WITHOUThaving to also press carriage return?

B00ze,

Which version of Windows do you have?


XP ofcourse (this is the newsgroup for it after all :-) ) service pack 3
(XPsp3).


Ah yes of course ;-) Unfortunately, I removed the drives from my Xp box
two weeks ago and do not plan on making it bootable again, so I can't
check if I had Choice on mine. Trust Microsoft to remove something in Xp
and put it back in Win7 (and then likely remove it again in Win10.) I
use Choice on WinPE bootdisks (I have to copy it from System32;
Microsoft doesn't copy it when it builds the boot WIM file) and in a few
other places, it works very well. I wouldn't be surprised if Choice in
Win7 refused to work on Xp, DOS programs did that a lot (I've had to use
SETVER a few times.)

Regards,
