I still use a lot of batch files to do my work. Almost all my old batch files use simple assembly language 16-bit .com files as auxiliaries to speed things along. An example follows: dir c:\"*%**" /a /s /b /-p > xyz.bat [this would search my c: drive for an obscure file and list the path in xyz.bat] change.com xyz.bat "c:\" "cd c:\" [this would change a path listing into a command to change to the directory of the file -- for illustration purposes I've left out a couple of steps.] [the last step would be to run xyz.bat...a quick and painless way to located some obscure file and change to its directory] Finally the question. Would any of this work in either a 64-bit or 32-bit windows 7 installation? [It all works flawlessly in Windows xp.]

Hi It would work in 32bit Windows 7. Windows 7 64bit does not support 16bit. Regards, Ronnie Vernon MVP
