| | administrator rights? hey hows it goin guys, Im also getting the 'volume label syntax' error message, I think I know why I just dont know how to fix it, lock.bat needs to be run in administrator mode, but in properties the option is unselectable so I cant change it permanently, Im guessing this is because its a .bat file or something? I dont know much about computers I found this thread on google and registered just to ask this question so if anyone could help would be great, thanks |
