Yes Lacey, you can put an echo in anywhere you'd like, saying anything
you want.
I actually should've put a pause command at the end, so they actually
see that, otherwise, the screen may just close at the end of commands
without them seeing it. So, hopefully this is what you need:
--------------------------
@echo off
cls
echo.
echo Please make sure you have the CD in drive D"
echo.
pause
c:
cd\windows\system
del comctl32.ocx
del comdlg32.ocx
copy d:\DIR???\comctl32.ocx
copy d:\DIR???\comdlg32.ocx
regsvr32 /u comdlg32.ocx
regsvr32 /u comctl32.ocx
regsvr32 comdlg32.ocx
regsvr32 comctl32.ocx
echo.
echo That's it boys and girls, please reboot your machine now.
echo.
pause
--------------------------
Terry
p.s. I would suggest you experiment to confirm all is well.
