Batch file help?
I've been running Minecraft servers for a while, so I know what I'm doing. My .bat files have always been working properly, but one day I tried to start up my server and got this error:
"Windows cannot find 'C:\Users\Blah\Downloads\Server\start.ba... Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."
With this, I deleted my .bat and made a new one. Same error. I tried running it from CMD but again, no luck.
Then I assumed it was an error with my jar gone corrupt, but getting a new one had no effect. When I tried to make a test .bat file, it didn't work again. Apparently it goes outside of just the files on the server or the code in the .bat. Can anyone explain what happened?

Okay
The error message is telling you precisely what is wrong. You're entering the wrong name; the file doesn't exist at that location.
That is, the file
`C:\Users\Blah\Downloads\Server\ start.bat' doesn't exist.
Make that backslashes and spaces in string literals are escaped as required and that there is actually `start.bat' in `C:\Users\Blah\Downloads\Server\'.
Make sure that you are not supplying relative names, and if you are, not changing the PWD relative to `start.bat'.
