If this is POSSIBLE i want to see if I can do this please help.

I have a guest account on my computer that other people get on and i wanted to see if i could make a .bat FILE
that would make it so if someone wanted to get on the INTERNET they could CLICK the batch file and enter a password that would then connect them to the internet i have the internet blocked so they cant get on now.

I have this in notepad

echo off
echo.
echo Please enter a password
set /p m=password.-
pause >nul
start iexplore

______________

This works but they can enter any password they want is there a way so they have to enter a specific word to continue on???

please help
Welcome to the CH forums.

Please read this.

You can test the word entered using an IF command.

Below shows a batch script which works when %pword% is set as an Environment Variable in the user account.

Code: [Select]echo off
cls

echo.
echo.
echo.

set /p m=                        Please enter your password:

IF NOT %m%==%pword% goto bad

start iexplore

exit

:bad
echo.
echo.
echo.

echo                         Password "%m%" is invalid

echo.
echo.
echo                         Press any key to continue
pause >nul
cls

Good luck with your project.I entered that into an MS-DOS computer (not the BIT about starting iexplore) and it doesn't run the program - it just says syntax error for the set command. What can I use instead?

(running MS-DOS 5.0)Bones92 - yep, the SET /P switch is not available in MS-Dos.   You could try the Setenv utility from here.

I only have bare-bones Dos 7.10 available right now so can't test it for you.

Good luck
