Quick question:

I write tons of batch files and various scripts to automate tasks in the office.

Is there a way to set a timeout when running a test like this:

IF NOT EXIST \\PCNAME\C$ ECHO NOT FOUND..

If the PC doesn't exist on the network this can take several seconds to complete. I want to have this timeout after x number seconds and move on.

Got any ideas?
