Batch command question

[Cetla]

Im sorry if this was asked any where else all i keep getting anywhere near it is this topic List of default variables + batch file help. i wanted to know like %SYSTEMDRIVE% is there a way to find where your program file dir is, so you dont have to declare \program files\ you just plug in a variable like %programefiles% ? I thought I seen something like this in the unattended guide, but i cant seem to find it.

I'm not sure I understand your question, but %ProgramFiles% is a default

variable which expands to your Program Files directory. Just type set

in a command window to see all the variables. If that's not what you

wanted, please try to explain more.

Try taking the first "e" out of "%programEfiles%"

Just a hint, when using the %ProgramFiles% variable, you will most likely need to use quotes around it.

"%ProgramFiles%\MyProgram\program.exe" /command

xcopy C:\moo\ "%ProgramFiles%\stuff"

Those are some examples. Now some things commands need the quotes, while others don't. This is a good reason to test out the commands first.
