echo %RANDOM% ... {0, 32767}

I knew there are environment variables for SystemRoot, UserProfile, etc, but I didn't know about the %RANDOM% variable that when used will generate a random number between 0 and 32767.
 
I remember a few years ago I needed to generate a unique name for something in a batch file and I had to use an external program to generate a random number. This can come in handy for generating temporary and/or unique file names.
 
For a complete list of Windows XP Environment variables see Command shell overview.
