Delay in .bat file?

What would be the easiest way to produce a delay in a .bat file? such as waiting for ten seconds then continuing or something like that? I'd prefer if there was a simple way to set how long you wait...

Routine I use to countdown

Routine I use to countdown to fire my start up software if I'm at work, but not when I'm on the road. Just put the batch file in your StartUp group. I don't remember where I found the core algorithms, but it works nicely.

BTW, my U: drive is a network share that only exists if I connect at the office.

Out of interest would the same batch file (ignoring outlook.exe etc.) work on Linux? I.E. is it the same commands or are they windows specific?

No. Windows and Linux commands are totally different.
