Woh! Smack!
That is amazing & it works to perfect! =)
Wow I thought I needed a .exe to do this for sure.

I have been searching on the internet for days for this.
You really saved me I hope i can put it to use. now. thanks so much for your time.

is it possible you can change the wasd to the arrows and conferm with enter insted of c?
its funny you dint fine anything in there as old as dos is the choice command only works on vista and up not even xp. computers use that command in console from what I have have come to find.
you cant even guess how hard I searched for days on the internet only to find noting. on what should be so simple.

that you tube video was the best i could find and oddly hes only sending the code out in privet emails for people who like and subscribe to his channel and send requests.

but this is so much better because I don't even need an external .exe

I am I'm trying to build an amazing menu.
I don't really understand why there are extra stuff in the error level part?

If the first one is...

if "%errorlevel%"=="1" goto option 1
if "%errorlevel%"=="2" goto option 1
if "%errorlevel%"=="3" goto option 2

and the second one is...

if "%errorlevel%"=="1" goto option 2
if "%errorlevel%"=="2" goto option 2
if "%errorlevel%"=="3" goto option 1

How do I add my 3ed and 4th options to the menu?
What do I need to do to extend this further?
It seems to me like there should not even be an error level 3 in there right now because I only have 2 buttons? or is there something I'm missing?
