Answer 1

Thanks Very Much @Sparky3489, if I have just one USB Flash Drive, I put this within your Algorithm, Right After the

echo %%i is a USB drive.
Set FlashDrive=%%I

I also changed the Wording of the Identifier to

Echo %%i is a USB Flash Drive~!

Then, After, {and Outside} the Algorithm, I can add the Flash Drive Path such as...

Set FlashPath=%FlashDrive%\Users\Public\Documents

Then by setting up other Paths Such as

Set SourcePath=C:\Users\Public\Documents

I can make an Batch File BackUp For the Flash Drive, (can be Called Via Windows Short-Cut with an Associated Icon in your Quick Launch Window ~ Search "Quick Launch", if in Doubt to what I'm Talking About).
