I have been creating a chat room for my school, but I have to bring home the file to make changes as they become needed but my problem is the file path has to be changed each time I move the files from one system to another. so I would like to know how to create a %PATH% that will work for me
This is my full code for the main file:
As you may notice I'm new to this
NOTE: Everything here works fine with a set file path but I want it to work easier for when I change computers.
Anything could probably help

%PATH% is reserved environment variable, documented here: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/path.mspx?mfr=true
For diagnostics purposes you could echo that variable to analyze if that has such value you intended to have:
echo %path%
As mentioned by #Jermu Virtanen the %PATH% variable is a windows system set path...you should not use/change it unless you really know what you are doing.
So instead of using %PATH% use something like %PROGPATH%.
Also as mentioned by #foxdrive, if the user enters "dad" it will go to "menu" before setting the path variable. And again if you instead chose 'Admin' then to 'List users' it will again be calling the path without first setting it.
You could automate some of the login or path settings by grabbing the computer's domain name %userdomain% and current user %username%.
Ie;
SET "progpath=c:\Users\%username%\Desktop\(-_-)"
In your code the path was being set after it had already branched to the menu. This may work for you:
if %c% EQU carrie goto Menu
if %c% EQU dad SET PATH=%PATH%;c:\Users\Dan W Frye\Desktop\(-_-)& goto menu
To put the batch file on the path for every user, use this:
set path=%path%;%PUBLIC%
and copy the batch file to C:\Users\Public and run it from there.
Unless it needs extra permissions it should run from there for every user.

Whenever I type in "Admin" instead of going to the password screen, it just closes cmd, can anyone tell me why? i have experimented with ''s and other commands but I just can't figure it out.
The problem with respect to your specific issue is a typo.
You have:
set /p password:What is the admin password?:
Instead of:
Set /P "password=What is the admin password?: "
The doublequotes are simply good practice, your error was quite clearly that you used a : instead of a =.
For my AP Physics 2 project we have to create something that can calculate the equations for resistors and capacitors, I'm having problems with having the variables actually add up to a complete number rather than just being 2+4+4 as an output.
Below is my code so far:

echo Type R or C when prompted.
set /p input0=Enter:
if %input0% equ R goto R1
if %input0% equ C goto C1

echo Do you want Series or Parallel?
echo Type S or P when prompted.

echo Press any key to continue.

Suggestions:
Do not set a variable to %username% as that is already an existing system variable.
Enclose both strings with double quotes in a string comparison.
Use the choice command when you have a known set of choices.
Try not to include unnecessary labels.

The final GOTO Menu also ensures that the value that was inserted was not just nonsense, for example sdhghdhf or some other invalid value. It will act as the "default" case.
Just copy this kind of structure to every "decision" and it should work fine.
My code is not completely finished but it was working.Now it closes after the first section instead of going to section two.I know that this is probably a dumb mistake but I would appreciate the help!(The lines are just for organization)
