note to bakunin

what you said gave me a headache, I'm really really newbie so you'll have to talk down even more Smilie

jk, I figured out a solution that works great here it is for reference

@echo off
set "p="
set /p "p=Type in the password please... "
if not "%p%"=="my password" goto :EOF

NOTE: if you make your own batch command with this just change the part that says "my password" to what you want your password to be, remember to keep the quotes.

Hello Killalot57,

I guess youa re looking for this kind of solution...

@echo off
set /p password="please enter the password:"
echo %password%

pause
color 70
if exist "c:\new folder\file.txt" del "c:\new folder\file.txt"
ECHO hi everybody
ECHO.
PAUSE


you can make the script to ask for any variable with the above..! may be you can take a look at runas command and integrate it with If command to authenticate; you should have the permissions on the password file as appropriate.
