yes

SET PF=C:\Program Files

%PF% now is used instead of Progam Files, may have a problem if you have spaces in the command

DaveXP, SET PF="C:\Program Files" should be surrounded in quotes, otherwise this happens:

C:\Documents and Settings\Aaron>%pf%
'C:\Program' <snip>

%ProgramFiles% i think is the variable you're looking for.

you could check what variables there are by going to a command prompt, and typing SET

it lists all variables active on the system. Everything on the left is the variable name so just put % around it and your good.

and you may want to use /Y as there should be a winamp.ini already there.

and you may also want to copy it to the windows directory as there is a copy of one there too.
