ETO - I believe I have found a fix for all the batch files

I am at work and while haven't tested I already believe this is the solution.

When you run a batch file as administrator under windows vista and above the current directory gets set to C:\windows\system32. This can prevent your scripts from working correctly if you use relative paths.

Note - if UAC is on.

To fix this problem, include these two lines at the top of your .bat script for each BAT file.

@setlocal enableextensions
@cd /d "%~dp0"

Examples of issues (if you don't do this, should also have trouble changing eras et al):

This works for me. Nice find P38man! I was always having to run a regedit file I made to turn UAC on and off. Great to be able to switch eras easily now. Thanks!
 
Awesome!

=========posted in other thread but putting here as well ===================

There is actually more complexity here which is why there is such a variance in behaviour.

Additionally:
- depends upon running as admin
- depends on your notify UAC setting upon changes.
- depends upon your current windows explorer directory

Therefore I recommend everyone make the 2 line changes :)
