REM DELETE ANY LEFTOVER FILES FROM PERVIOUS RUNS
IF EXIST "*.reg" DEL /Q "*.reg"

:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

REM USE WMIC COMMAND TO QUERY THE CURRENT DATE AND TIME
FOR /F "SKIP=1" %%G IN ('WMIC OS GET LOCALDATETIME') DO SET "time=%%G" & GOTO SET_VARS

:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

:SET_VARS
REM SET CURRENT TIME VARIABLES
SET "HOURS=%time:~8,2%"
