That line of code will prompt the user:

    C:\Documents\PythonCoding\

then the user enters ABC<enter>:

    C:\Documents\PythonCoding\ABC

and raw_input returns "ABC", so name becomes "ABClaunch2.bat".

Presumably the intention here was to use the prompt as a suggestion
for a value to enter, but I can't be sure.
