   I am running this in Win7 from windows explorer.   
      
   Thank you for the suggestion to start with a minimum of commands and see how   
   it goes.  With your starting bat suggestion it worked great.  I did see the   
   echo text and it ran fine.  I added one line at a time. It seams to not work   
   when I add the first for    
   loop. This is what I am currently testing with:   
      
   @echo on   
   echo.   
   echo current working directory:   
   cd   
   echo.   
   echo.   
      
   Set Drive=E:   
   %Drive%   
   attrib -r -s -h -a "desktop.ini" /s   
   @for /f "usebackq delims=|" %%i in (`dir /s /b /x /A:H ^| find "desktop.ini"`)   
   do (   
   	del /A:H "%%i"   
   	Echo -"%%i"-   
   	)   
      
   echo new working directory:   
   cd   
   echo.   
   echo.   
      
   pause   
      
   This is the output I get:   
   C:\Dnload>echo.   
      
   C:\Dnload>echo current working directory:   
   current working directory:   
      
   C:\Dnload>cd   
   C:\Dnload   
      
   C:\Dnload>echo.   
      
   C:\Dnload>echo.   
      
   C:\Dnload>Set Drive=E:   
      
   C:\Dnload>E:   
      
   E:\DnloadBackup\Fonts>attrib -r -s -h -a "desktop.ini" /s   
      
   E:\DnloadBackup\Fonts>echo new working directory:   
   new working directory:   
      
   E:\DnloadBackup\Fonts>cd   
   E:\DnloadBackup\Fonts   
      
   E:\DnloadBackup\Fonts>echo.   
      
   E:\DnloadBackup\Fonts>echo.   
      
   E:\DnloadBackup\Fonts>pause   
   Press any key to continue . . .   
      
      
   As you can see the Echo -"%%i"- within the For line is not being displayed.   
   Something is wrong with the For line.   
      
   Thank you,
