   No. Scratch that. It doesn't work too.   
      
   Use this instead.   
      
   @echo off   
   setlocal   
   set attr=   
   for %%A in ("%file%") do set attr=%%~aA   
   if "%attr%" neq "" (   
     echo Not found.   
     goto :eof   
   )   
   if "%attr:d=%" == "%attr%" (   
     echo It's a file.   
   ) else (   
     echo It's a folder.   
   )
