   OK, learning something about how to see errors after a batch closure.   
      
   The reported error: ) was unexpected at this time.   
      
   But NOT really. After trying various different ( and ) arrangements   
   without success I did get it to work.   
      
   The fix was changing "IF %B==..." to "IF %%B==..."   
      
   But you had success using "IF %B==..." and maybe a different version of   
   Windows 10. Mine is Pro (10.0.19045 build 19045).
