Sep 03, 2020 Save your document as a batch file. If you haven't yet saved your document as a batch file, do the following: Click File, then click Save As. Type in your file's name followed by.bat (e.g., 'My Batch File' would become 'My Batch File.bat'). Click the 'Save as type' drop-down box, then click All Files. Select a save location, then click Save. You now have a batch file with the.bat file extension. Double-click it to run it. This particular batch file sets ECHO off (which cleans up the output by hiding the commands from being printed at the prompt, prints the text “Hello World” to the screen, and then waits for you to press a key before it ends. Cd command has not STDOUT.You probably need to append STDOUT of your batch file to a text file. Run your batch file from cmd: batchfile.bat 'C:UsersxasonDesktopLogslogs.txt' Or, inside your batch file. You can add switches to your script for different options, such as: /delete - to delete a mapped drive /persistent:yes/no - to reconnect the drive upon login. I personally leave it the way it is and just add one more line: del.bat. This way, I drop it in a user's startup folder and it will run once and that's it.

Thank you for this info, but as Swaminathan.vp stated, once you have a vbs file it's best to just call it directly from the batch file. I assume then that the Yes / No button responses are specified within the batch file?
My main question is this: How do I display the red exclamation mark warning shield icon in the dialogue box (or any red exclamation mark) as well as being able to specify whether you want Yes/No, Ok/cancel, etc as it looks from what you've written above like you have to have one or the other, which I'm surely isn't the case.
