It is impossible to give useful advice about such small-scale problems
with only a general information about the problem.  Please consider
posting more details (how about just posting the two batch files?).

First, why do you need 2 batch files? won't a single one do the job?

Second, what does it mean ``some may use D or F''? are we talking
about a special directory, like a place where some software is
installed?  If so, is there a method, like some enviironment variable,
to know in advance where that directory is, and what is that method?
