Batch Files on DVD in XP?

[jw]

This may be OT, but I didn't know where else to ask.

I have created a few batch files each of which I want to automate a
series of different DOS actions appropriate to a selection from a menu
within XP. The batch files execute flawlessly as a run command, one
batch file at a time.

Example batch file (copies a file from CD/DVD disk to C hard drive):

MD C:\FOLDER-NAME-1
CD C:\FOLDER-NAME-1
MD C:FILE-NAME-1
CD C:FILE-NAME-1
COPY FOLDER-NAME-1\FILE-NAME-1\*.* C: /Y

EXIT

Now then, can anyone suggest how I can create a menu in XP to select
the batch file a user wants to run? I would then want to put said
menu on a CD or DVD for my kids to then use,

Thanks

Duke

Google is your friend. The very first hit under
batch file commands
was

Scroll down to "Menu creation".

Thanks for your suggestion. I did try Google, but somehow missed this
link. I didn't look hard enough I guess.
