Batch File: Split File Name and Folder

Question

I would like to parse the folder name and file name from passed argument. Example:

my.bat c:\windows\test.txt

I want those to be stored as follows:

FILE_NAME=test.txt
FILE_FOLDER=c:\windows\

How can I do this?

I found this but it only gets the filename.
