Will test that out and report back, probably tomorrow now, as at work

Hi Mark, thanks for your reply. I used Notepad++, guess maybe that's the cause.
Will start from scratch using notepad.

(I added the print statements to get some output as the batch file opened the command box which closed straight away)

Thank, Um, no I haven't, file is just a copy the FH file.
1 CHAR UNICODE
think that's the default

I've added fhugdownloads:contents:utility_folder_marker|> Utility ~ Folder Marker . Does it provide a reasonable description? Hi Mike that looks good to me. Whilst Foldermarker changes the original folders, this is not carried through to the Quick Access shortcuts! To get quick access to certain fo...

I find colour coding excellent. (There is a little program called "Folder Marker" not sure if it is available but it is brilliant as in "My Documents" I can go to the correct folder straight away. It's available at http://foldermarker.com/en/download/ Have just downloaded it, virus scanned and run....

I have four coloured ring folders, one for each of my grandparents for the paper files and photos. I scan everything I can and keep in nested directories. One branch has folders for record types (census, baptisms, births etc) another has folders for each surname with subfolders for forenames. Those ...
