hello,
i occasionally write a batch file to automate occasional backup of certain
files.
i know windows programs have a "start" folder that you can drag batch files
to, to execute on startup.
Is there such thing as having a batch file executing automatically on
shutdown as well, or would i have to do it manually?
question2 - i'm just learning batch file syntax, when writing a batch file,
do you need to use the 8.3 abbreviation for all files and pathways or does
XP recognize long folder names?
thank you.
