[pdf]BATCH FILE PROGRAMMING COMPLETE BOOK ~ SHM-HACK

* The Microsoft Windows operating system provides a useful tool for customizing the operation of a PC computer, known as "batch file" programming. Batch files are an extension of the Windows "CMD.EXE" program. CMD.EXE is a type of "shell" or "command interpreter program": it interprets commands and executes them. CMD.EXE can execute commands interactively or it can execute the same commands stored in an ordinary text file as a batch file. Batch files are an antique technology by modern standards, batch files having been introduced with the original MS-DOS operating system in the 1980s, but they still remain useful.

This document provides a quick introduction to Windows batch file programming. It assumes a basic knowledge of how to use a Windows PC, including familiarity with directories, file systems, mouse operations, and the Windows Explorer file browser.
