The name of the file is extractchromium.bat
and contains the following
PATH=%PATH%;"C:\Program Files\7-Zip"
CD /D "%userprofile%\desktop"
FOR %X IN (*.zip) DO 7z.exe x -aoa -o"%userprofile%\desktop\" "%X"

C:\Documents and Settings\username\desktop>extractchromium
'¦P' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Double up on the percentage signs. One is okay when running from the
command prompt to use a variable but you need 2 inside the batch file.
You want to use a variable, not the value of the variable (defined in
whatever shell loaded that .bat file).
