Because the message needs to be sent to someone, in this case the user running the script.<br />
%username% will expand to that user name, no need to change anything.

Nope, sorry.<br />
But then again, it allows the user to click it away if it bothers him ...

I have &nbsp;.bat file which runs various commands once triggered. <br />
At any point during the running of the .bat file I would like to pull up a message <br />
that informs the user at what stage they are at.. &nbsp;just a text which flashes up and says <br />
&quot;Stage 5, .. &nbsp;and counting down&quot;... <br />
and then I want that text to cut out.. and than at another point of the .bat file I want another text message to display showing<br />
for example &quot;Stage 4 - preparing file&quot;... etc.. <br />
Can I insert these pop up messages and keep them up for about 10 seconds while the background script is running?<br />
if yes how can this be accomplished... ?+

Pop up messages while running script

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.

Windows Batch

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
