   Would a bit of PowerShell be considered cheating?   
      
   PowerShell has a feature where it can take script code directly on the   
   command line, so no external files are needed. Here's an example for   
   your specific problem:   
      
      
   @echo off   
      
   set service=Computer Browser   
      
   for /F "usebackq" %%n in (`powershell -command "Get-Service -Name   
   '%service%'|Format-Table -AutoSize -HideTableHeaders -Property name"`)   
   do set shortname=%%n   
      
   echo The short name is: %shortname%
