By changing the registry, you can require Windows 98 and NT users to choose passwords of a certain length. Set the required minimum number of characters that you want for each valid password. This registry setting will affect only new or changed passwords. Old passwords remain the same. Editing the registry can have potentially disastrous results.

I assume that you run the batch file also from the command prompt and don't see any errors listed. Try a batch file such as this one and run from the command line.. Check at each pause forany error msgs. You may even have to remove the home directory path from the profile to get the script working properly.
Obviously I wasn't using 'X', it was a the generic letter I used when describing this issue.
