270966 -        2.  Have been using a simple batch file for years running XP
270967 -            called from within a DOS app using start command, which
270968 -            calls following code to ftp records to my website.
270969 -            However, with new computer on w7 Ultimate, getting access
270970 -            denied on rd command, and thing fails. Here is current
270971 -            code...

270993 -        4.  So everything works in XP, but W7 hangs on rd command with
270994 -            "Access denied." [...despite having set permissions on all
270995 -            partitions to "full control," reported on 101204 2004.

271001 -            to execute.
271003 -             ..
271004 -        6.  Any suggestions to get rd to run in w7 like xp. Is there
271005 -            an environment variable that can be set to allow
271006 -            processing to complete.

271807 -        2.  Hi,
271809 -             ..
271810 -        3.  Spent a week working with W7 "permissions" to set global
271811 -            policies that permit access to all files and directories.
271812 -            Think they are set, but don't know for sure.
271814 -             ..
271815 -        4.  c:sd\wt is a temporary directory constructed only when
271816 -            needed to hold path structure and files for transfer to the
271817 -            web.  When the batch op runs, the files and path structure
271818 -            are uploaded, and then it is intended to delete the path
271819 -            and files, for the next pass.  I can delete the path and
271820 -            files if I close SDS (where the op was launched), but that
271821 -            defeats the purpose of interactive work.  Hoping there is
271822 -            an environment setting or something that enables w7 to run
271823 -            like xp, so daily work is fast and smooth.
271825 -             ..
271826 -        5.  Thanks.

272207 -        2.  Not sure what SDC is but, it sounds like it is having
272208 -            trouble letting go of the directories. So, its not really
272209 -            a batch file issue but a compatibility issue with the

272610 -        3.  SDS is a macro application for an editor e.exe 16-bit
272611 -            assembler.  For past 2 years we have been building a Java
272612 -            version for new platforms.  Probably have another year of
272613 -            debugging before we can switch over, so need to run
272614 -            existing e.exe on w7, as we have for xp.
272616 -             ..
272617 -        4.  Tried setting compatiblity to xp sp3; that failed.  Tried
272618 -            w95 and that failed.
272620 -             ..
272621 -        5.  e.exe through the macro process calls a memory session with
272622 -            start command that launches e.exe again to apply html to a
272623 -            text file for display in a browser, and then writes the
272624 -            file to the disk with a command "savx" that creates a
272625 -            directory structure.  The code executes a quit command to
272626 -            cycle out of start memory and back to the batch op, which
272627 -            uploads all of the files to the web with directory
272628 -            structure so that all of the links are effective.
