    System32 DOS utilities no longer operate in the call folder


    I am running a simple batch file from the command prompt attempting to rename a group of files of a folder but at the first instance the folder reverts and tries to continue in the System32 folder even though C:\Windows\System32 is in the PATH. I included the "cd to the calling folder" in the batch file otherwise the batch file fails. Is this a new subsystem behaviour?

    The path
    Code: C:\Windows\system32>path PATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath; C:\Windows\system32; C:\Windows; C:\Windows\System32\Wbem; C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\; C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH\; C:\Program Files (x86)\NTP\bin; C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\Scripts\; C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\; C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;[/quote] Batch file:
    Code: cd W:\5 mexico and latin america\vol 1 history of mexico by h h bancroft\jp2 ren "historyofmexico09bancrich_0001.jp2" "HHBHM V1 D001.jp2" pause <—————————————————————————————see first result ren "historyofmexico09bancrich_0002.jp2" "HHBHM V1 D002.jp2" ren "historyofmexico09bancrich_0003.jp2" "HHBHM V1 D003.jp2"[/quote]

    Directory Size Utility

    Cool utility that we used to use in the DOS days!

    I've got to try it out at home, but here's one of the best features of the old utility:

    A bar graph by each folder, listing the relative size of each folder. It was great for flagging large files when housecleaning on a network... or home PC for that matter.

    Directory Size Utility

    First of all nice utility, Mindweaver!
    Second of all, it's so nice to see that this section ain't dead.

    I have a few questions/suggestions, maybe you'd want to see ...
    • maybe you rename Get Folder button caption to something more intuitive? Add Folder, Get Folder Size, Check Folder Size or something like that?
    • Could you add subfolder files to the right pane? (it can be a tickbox with include sub dirs)
    • maybe you also add export list to excel?
    • there's delete file button maybe you add delete folder button too?
    • and finally maybe you can add UP button for directories?
