OK i have a little problem here.

no its not part of my unattended install, but i figure this is where most of the batch file people will be and have the most knowledge.

I have created an autorun.inf for my usb flash disk. so when ever i double click on it from my computer it will run a small batch file to Synchronize my hard drive files to my flash drive files at home or at uni, depening where i am. then finnaly so i don;t have to right click on the drive I have added

explorer X:
explorer E:

As the last to lines.

However id like to close the "explorer E:" window when im at home.

(e: is what is is called at uni, while i have ity set as x at home)

I have tried

taskkill /f /FI "windowtitle eq ISO*"

But that seems to do nothing

Does anybody know how i can close that window, title ISO as well as My Computer

Thanks

i think u can get computer names

and make some if statements for it.

so when it founds that u're at home it'll open E drive

when u're at your uni it'll open X drive.

i'm sure u sit at different computers at uni so make

if at home open e drive

else open x...

so this way u won't have to deal with closing the window, only opening..

Thank you XtremeMaC and jdoe

Works great

Echo.
ECHO opening up explorer to USB
IF EXIST E:\autorun.inf (Explorer E:)
IF EXIST E:\autorun.inf (E:\apps\cmdow.exe "My Computer" /CLS)
IF EXIST X:\autorun.inf (Explorer X:)
IF EXIST X:\autorun.inf (X:\apps\cmdow.exe "My Computer" /CLS)

E: at home will never have a autorun.inf as it is a storage drive not cdrom.

If anyone has a even better solution for example build on XtremeMaC

idea of %computername% (note this does NOT work) remebering will be used on a somewhat controlled system eg no reg edits allowed , then feel free as im sure there will be more people wanting to do this as time goes by.

note:. X:\ is what the drive is called (at home) and is not a random variable.

Thanks
