Sometimes I'll have two or more running, but when I look at the
task bar, all I see of the "title" is "Adminis..."

IF I hover over the mouse, up pops the popup with the full title:
e.G., "Administrator: ZZ Home Agent Bat".

Is there a way to eliminate, remove, not display the
"administrator" part, or is that a Feature?
It occurs to me,that if I could rename "administrator" to
something shorter (E.G., Adm, Me, ...) that would serve as a
"solution" of sorts.


Use the title command within your batch to set the title to
any string you like.


I do.
setting
Title ZZ Home Agent Bat
results in the window title
Administrator: ZZ Home Agent Bat

how do I get "Administrator" to a) go away,
b) be short enough I can see which "window title" on the task bar
is which actual window?
