However somtimes I just want to load xtree to do some copying/moving. I saw once a programme which was called from the autoexec.bat file which loaded for a few seconds then finished and let the batch file continue on. This was to give the user time enough to do a c to stop the batch file. Has anyone seen a programme similar to this ? thanks in advance. Tommy.
