"batch" file in XP??

[TonyP]

How do I create a DOS batch file in XP?

 

[Daniel Peterson]

The same as you would in dos. XP can run .bat or .cmd files as batch files.

[Ron Sommer]

Use Notepad to create a bat file.
Use "cmd" without the quotes as the first line of the file.

While in XP, use any text editor (Wordpad, for example) and create the file.
Then save it as a text file, naming it, for example, tool.bat.

To run it, click on Start/Run/cmd - then enter C:\Utilities\tool (assuming
you stored it at C:\Utilities).

For what possible reason would you put "cmd" as the first line of the file?
(Unless you _wanted_ another instance of cmd to run, of course - perhaps so
that you have to type "exit" to get out?).
