   As you can see, your working directory on e: is E:\DnloadBackup\Fonts   
   Are you sure you want to search desktop.ini only in this directory   
   and it's subdirectories? And first you remove the "hidden" attribute   
   from all desktop.ini (but also only in E:\DnloadBackup\Fonts) and then   
   you list in the "dir" command files with the attribute hidden.   
   If you want to search the whole disk, either add a "cd \"   
   or insert a \ before desktop.ini.   
      
      
   First remove the now unnecessary echo statements from the working   
   part and start with a simple for loop (and remove the @ before the   
   for). If this is working, add more to the for loop:   
      
   @echo off   
   Set Drive=E:   
   %Drive%   
      
   attrib -r -s -h -a "\desktop.ini" /s   
      
   for /f  %%i in ('dir /s /b /x \desktop.ini') do echo %%i   
      
   pause
