Yes, sure, I CAN read ;-) But this does not change the fact that you know the system language already by having a look at the %ALLUSERSPROFILE% or another similar variable. Looking at the content of the variable your batch script is able to determine the system language - and then it is clear how all the other variables should look like... if "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%" == "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users" ( set DOCUMENTS=%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Documents ... ) if "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%" == "C:\<italian name here>\All Users" ( set DOCUMENTS=%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Documenti ... ) But as I told you - I am thinking about to implement your request... br, Rainer |
