I've just tried a micro (actually a pro micro) - and failed to get it to work...
Programming - open a COM port on the port it shows up on (in my case COM3) which resets the board - but then programming is via COM4..
I've used an USBTiny in the past as a workaround, but there should be a way.
Doesn't explain the Nano though - which should work as is...

Re: First time Arduino
@mnfisher
The hint with the small time window of the com ports that was the decisive impulse to search! It worked!!! And as follows for the Micro:
Open project options>>press the reset button on the micro>>then another com port (Bootloader) appears briefly when you select>> select this and save>> works!!
Many thanks to everyone who helped me here, that was great!!

Re: First time Arduino
Glad it worked...
Martin - would it be possible to change the batch file to do this automagically.
Adding:
Resets the Arduino by opening the COM port at 1200 baud.. The ping just does a delay (can't use timeout as throws an error)
Also need to get rid of the 'Press Reset' dialog - can't see how this is called in the batch files?? This doesn't seem to reliably detect plugging in the board (no reset on pro-micro
Also need a way of getting the correct COM ports - I hard-coded in a batch file, but there should be a way to do this programmatically?
