Well,
First of all, I forgot to mention I'm running win2k.

The solution to non-existant variables is easy.
As you can see from the file, I use variables for almost anything that 
would take lots of keystrokes;-) Find out the path to %APPDATA% and add 
the variable with the SET command.
The only thing I'm still looking for is a way to take the \default.xxx 
directory, no mather what the extension looks like. default.* or .??? 
doesn't seem to work. I know, I might be able to use regular expressions 
  but let's say I use them on a not so regular basis;-)
