the z: as Juan Bredenkamp now is there a way i can do this by entering maby
%firstename% & %lastname% or %fullusername% maybe

there is to many users that i have to change on our z:\ if i whant to use

This is a batch script that will calculate the first and last name and place
them into variables that you can then use.
See my example below.

********************************************
@echo off
for /f "Tokens=1-4" %%a in ('net user "%username%" /domain') do if /i
"%%a"=="Full" if /i "%%b"=="Name" set fnme=%%c
for /f "Tokens=1-4" %%a in ('net user "%username%" /domain') do if /i
"%%a"=="Full" if /i "%%b"=="Name" if /i "%%c"=="%fnme%" set lnme=%%d
echo %fnme% %lnme%
********************************************

I basically figure out the first name and last name from AD and place those
results into variables %fnme% and %lnme%
You could use these variables to do what you are requesting.

Be careful, my previous post word wrapped. I am resending this to notate
where each line starts

********************************************
Line 1- @echo off
Line 2- for /f "Tokens=1-4" %%a in ('net user "%username%" /domain') do if
/i "%%a"=="Full" if /i "%%b"=="Name" set fnme=%%c
Line 3- for /f "Tokens=1-4" %%a in ('net user "%username%" /domain') do if
/i "%%a"=="Full" if /i "%%b"=="Name" if /i "%%c"=="%fnme%" set lnme=%%d
Line 4- echo %fnme% %lnme%
********************************************

I basically figure out the first name and last name from AD and place those
results into variables %fnme% and %lnme%
You could use these variables to do what you are requesting.

or to simplify,
********************************************
Line 1- @echo off
Line 2- for /f "Tokens=1-4" %%a in ('net user "%username%" /domain') do if
/i "%%a"=="Full" if /i "%%b"=="Name" set fnme=%%c&set lnme=%%d
Line 3- echo %fnme% %lnme%
********************************************

Note that in NT/2K/XP (ie NT+) "&" can be used to separate commands on a
line

- and possibly for entertainment,
********************************************
Line 1- @echo off
Line 2- for /f "Tokens=1-4" %%a in ('net user "%username%" /domain') do if
/i "%%a%%b"=="FullName" set fnme=%%c&set lnme=%%d
Line 3- echo %fnme% %lnme%
********************************************

Another common (and simpler) way to annotate linewrap is to prefix each line
with whitespace, i.e.:

********************************************
@echo off
for /f "Tokens=1-4" %%a in ('net user "%username%" /domain') do if /i
"%%a"=="Full" if /i "%%b"=="Name" set fnme=%%c
for /f "Tokens=1-4" %%a in ('net user "%username%" /domain') do if /i
"%%a"=="Full" if /i "%%b"=="Name" if /i "%%c"=="%fnme%" set lnme=%%d
echo %fnme% %lnme%
