Yes so to make another line in the file i would add another line for example
echo Line 1>> %systemdrive%\cleanit.bat
echo Line 2 >> %systemdrive%\cleanit.bat

???? or am i not getting it

[Yek]

Ah i get it , first line is just making a new file so needs to overwrite everthing (one >) second line its just adding to it so needs two >> , am i right ??

That is correct.

You can create the file wherever you like providing there are no policies in place preventing it. Back in DOS I used to create new batch files in the root of the primary drive quite a bit, therefore if an error arose in the file creation or an operation of some sort it was clear exactly where the file(s) were sitting etc...

Force of habit I suppose... lol

Is there a way to add the date/time to this for example i wanted to make a file say

echo Success! the file was downloaded at %some value%

where &some value% was the date and time element therefor giving an output of e.g

Success! the file was downloaded successfully at 2/10/06 12:54

?? thanks

Something like the following should do...

echo Success!
echo The File was downloaded and installed on %date% at %time%.
