Its just a series of commands you want to perform. For example, if you want to do something and then shutdown your machine. Take an example you want to run a particular program at particular time. Just create a .bat file and schedule at that time.

You can do a lot of stuff with bat files. I use them to schedule things. Like I scheduled it to dial a connection at 2:30 in the night and then run Bittorent to start downloading files(downloading is free after 2:30) also made a program to show a scary picture , then shutdown the computer saying it has been bewitched an the person would die in minutes, placed this in a batch file and Ran this using Bluetooth Remote control when a friend was using my lappy.

.BAT or .CMD or executables and time savers for system administrators. When i say time savers means you can schedule these files which are actually task which admin wana do on daily basis. For e.g. to take a backup everyday, logon script, logoff script, etc.. Have a look at this site http://labmice.techtarget.com. This site is having Scripting section which have good tutorials.

Hi, BAT files are coming from the old ages of the DOS, if you use windows xp or vista, you should focus on CMD extensions. Do some quick search on any search engine, you'll find many examples. Cheers, aladar
