Ini file
I am wondering if it is possible to change a line in an ini file using a batch script to a specific directory on a drive
Just to give you some additional ideas as well.
I often use the following small, lightweight, free utility to make INI file changes from a BAT script. It's a great little tool to have in your drawer of useful utilities.

If you want to see an example of doing it the hard way in pure BAT code, take a look at this solution I did for a prior question...

Directly from bat without additional tools this is up to my knowlesge not possible.
If you have python3 already installed, then it is very easy to write a script changing lines in a config file.
Do you have to preserve potential comments in this file?
Then it would be a little bit more difficult.
