I have always checked a command line on the CMD black screen prior to inserting it into a .bak file, and it has always worked.

Well, I ran into a problem with the script to open a text file, say

"C:\users\myfile.txt"

This works when used on the black screen, but not when placed into a .bak file, which is then executed. The file does not open.

Any thoughts on what the problem is? Thanks for all suggestions.

Ivan:

I think that should be a file with a ".BAT" extension (as in BATCH) file.


With my apologies John, I miswrote. The file is, in fact, ".bat". Any thoughts about the problem I described?

Thanks for posting, and sorry again for my mistake.
