Hi,
Can I run it using a command prompt,what is the extension of this file if I
want to use it for saving this file. is it .bat file.
May be it is some silly questions which I am asking but truth is that I am
not really very good at writing scripts(batch) files. I REALLY WANT TO LEARN
MORE ABOUT RUNNING BATCH FILES,SCRIPTS FOR GIVING MORE CONTROL OF NETWORK
FOLDERS AND FILES,CAN YOU HELP ME TO FIND SOME GOOD WEB LINKS WHERE I CAN
FIND SOME GOOD SOURCE FILES FOR FOLDERS,AD,LDAP SCRIPTING.
Anyway thanks for all your responses.
