The Gotos arn't needed their just there for expandability (future error checking, etc). As for changing attributes. Those files are Needed just to login. Such as "%SystemRoot%\system32\config\SAM" which is a peice of registry god knows why microsoft didn't label something windows can't boot without as non system....

THANK YOU Gunsmokingman your a very productive person in this community.

Hi I have a few batch files here that need testing since currently something seems to be wrong with enviorment variables on my OS. Please test and tell me if they exit, do what they are made to do, etc. Also a big thanks to whoever helps me out.

Rephrase stupid with good and rephrase which is with which isn't. Some files are already hidden I just like to make sure nothing changed the attributes by enforcing it.

It changes attributes fine but seems to not want to exit at all...
