what is mean "batch file"?
484246
A text file with the .BAT extention. \n\nIt will then be executable, and run the commands listed in the file in order via DOS prompt.

the command line prompt is known as your script prompt..\n\nfor example in unix its like $ or %

I assume you mean pagefile or swapfile usage. This is an area of the hardrive that is used by the operating system like RAM. I prevents you just using all your RAM and then having to stop a program and ensures that currently running programs can access RAM.\nTheres a lot more to it than this though.

Ok I have a new and better Idea,... there is 2 parts to this....\n\nOpen up note pad and type the following\n\nshutdown /s /c "Time to go to bed"\n\n\nthen click file "save as"  then change "save as type:" to "all files".\nThen type in the following as the name...   "test01.bat"\n\nafter you created the file, then click...\nStart>Settings> Control Panel\n\nswitch to classic view, then go to Schedualed tasks...\n\nRight click the background, and select "new" then click "schedualed task"\n\nunder "Run:" click "Browse..." then select the test01.bat file\n\nafter that, click the schedule tab, and select at what time you want the computer to turn off.\n\nThen apply the changes and you are all set up!\n\n\nOk... now that I explained "How" to do it,... I will explain "Why" it works...\n\nwhen wrote in notepad, you were making a little program called a batch file. Batch files are simply commands that are sent as arguments to the command prompt... so when you open this file it will send the contents to the command prompt and execute its contents.\n\nso... here is what you told the computer to do in that batch file... \nshutdown - shut downs the computer...\n/s  - comfirms you are shuttng down the computer (rather then restarting it)\n/c "comment" - will display a comment when the computer is shutting down.\n\nokey dokey, then we created a system task. the system task will execute this program, and will shut down the computer at the time that you set it to...\n\nhope this helps...\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nedit... the below does not work,... disreguard....\n\nYou can set a system scheduald command... here is the easy steps.\ngo to...\n\nStart>Run> cmd\n\nthen the command prompt should come up...\nthen type the following...\n\nat 20:30 shutdown\n\n(in place of 20:30 type the time you wish the computer to shutdown, make sure it is in military time/24hour format)\n\nthen at that time, the computer will shut down...\n\n\nhope this helps\n\n**brb ill check to make sure this works... brb**

Windows XP does use autoexec.bat, but only to read in environment variables (like PATH).\n\nFurthermore, autoexec.bat is not really a good way to set environment variables anymore, because you have to restart for the changes to take effect, and now you can effect changes in global environment variables without restarting.\n\nEnvironment variables are really only read from autoexec.bat for backward compatibility--use of autoexec.bat to set environment variables is, as the UNIX folk like to say, deprecated. ( See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deprecated )\n\nA better way to set environment variables is:\n\nSystem Properties (Windows Key + Pause Key) > Advanced > Environment Variables\n\nWhen you use this to create, delete, and modify environment variables, be mindful of whether you're changing environment variables for the system, or just for the current user.

Hi This is Nirmal from Microsoft,\n\n     Regarding your question, for text file the extenstion is *.txt (that is text), but it is used for some help files or some extra system files, for example, .tx files are used as Photoline5 Help Files and Chaos Desktop Extra Text File (Chaos systems AB), etc.\n\n I hope that answers your question..\n\n\nIf you have any other question, please feel free to contact me, or if I have given any wrong or not appropriate information, please feel free to post a feedback at my email address, that will really help me.\n\nThanks and regards,\nNirmal

There is no command in standard Unix spelled "@";\nhowever:\n\n  - There is a standard command, spelled "at",\n    for executing batch jobs at a specified time.\n    (see manual page at reference 1)\n\n  - Anyone *could* create a command called "@"\n    simply by renaming or linking a command\n    to that name.

It sounds like you want to create some batch files. Here's how you would do it.\n\nThe commands are the following:\ndel (delete a file)\nmove (move a file)\ncopy (copy a file)\n\nHere's the reference from Microsoft:\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/ntcmds.mspx?mfr=true\n\nSo if you had a file in location c:&#92;downloads&#92;app.exe that you wanted to copy to c:&#92;temp&#92; directory and run, you could create a file called "copy-and-run.bat" with this as the contents:\n\ncopy c:&#92;downloads&#92;app.exe c:&#92;temp&#92;app.exe\nc:&#92;temp&#92;app.exe\n\nOr if you wanted to move the file (cut), it would be like this:\n\nmove c:&#92;downloads&#92;app.exe c:&#92;temp&#92;app.exe\nc:&#92;temp&#92;app.exe\n\nThen you could create another delete-temp.bat to delete the file if you were done with it:\n\ndel c:&#92;temp&#92;app.exe\n\nKeep in mind that files you delete like this are not saved in the recycle bin. Once it's gone, it's gone.\n\nGood luck!

You could possibly write something like your own batch file to do it.

lol, that's windows, specifically the taskbar, desktop, IE file browser\n\n\nlol conrad, I described the windows GUI "pecifically the taskbar, desktop, IE file browser". Windows is a GUI operating system, so kinda implied.

The term, "batch", originated in the days when programmers wrote code on paper forms which would be keypunched onto 80-column punch cards or paper tape. The cards or tape would then be passed to the system operator ("sysop") who would schedule the task, and at a later stage feed the program into the computer. Because a number of tasks would be 'batched' together rather than be put into the system immediately the tasks were referred to as "batch jobs".\n\nBatch jobs are set up so they can be run to completion without human interaction, so all input data is preselected through scripts or commandline parameters. This is in contrast to interactive programs which would prompt the user for such input.\n\nBatch jobs are not thought of as interactive, but transaction processing systems such as IBM's CICS may run from a technical perspective as batch jobs, although this is typically obscured from terminal users.\n\nBatch processing has these benefits:\n\nAllows sharing of computer resources among many users \nTime shifts job processing to when the computing resources are less busy \nAvoids idling the computing resources without minute-by-minute human interaction and supervision \nIt is used on expensive classes of computers to help amortize the cost by keeping high rates of utilization of those expensive resources. \nThe batch processing historically been synonomous with mainframe computers. Since this class of computer was so expensive, batch processing was used for the reasons listed above. Also, in the early days of electronic computing, interactive sessions with computer terminal interfaces (and later Graphical user interfaces) were not yet widespread.\n\nThe term batch has now become synonomous with the UNIX operating system, it has strong utilites within the Operating System that allow various computing tasks to be run in a controlled and orderly manner.

to make the batch file you would start a new page in Notepad.  Then the command you would use is START.  You have to know the location on your computer where the MS Access program is at (not the shortcut).  So it would be START <location of file>

yaaaaaaa\ncalled a batch file name converter

You could create a batch file. ie. runcmd.bat and inside it put the command cmd. Alternatively you could run commands using a vbscript file. Or you could use an MS-DOS or WindowsXP bootdisk and boot into that instead of windows. I create the systems that keep students from doing this sort of thing, and in general, the security is pretty strong, but good luck to you.

The concept of INTERNAL COMMANDS started back in the DOS days.  Essentially it was a command that could be executed from anywhere in folder structure while at the Command Prompt.  These commands were loaded in the memory by the Command.com loader that initiated at startup.\nThat file has been replaced by cmd.exe in Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 and OS/2\n\nDIR  \nLists the files in the current directory \nCD, CHDIR  \nChanges the current working directory or displays the current directory. \nCOPY  \nCopies one file to another (if the destination file already exists, MS-DOS asks whether to replace it). (See also XCOPY, an external command that could also copy directory trees) \nREN, RENAME  \nRenames a file or directory \nDEL, ERASE  \nDeletes a file. When used on a directory, deletes all files in that directory, but does not recurse or delete the directory itself. \nMD, MKDIR  \nCreates a new directory \nRD, RMDIR  \nRemoves an empty directory \nVOL  \nShows information about a volume \nLABEL  \nShow or change the label of a volume \nVERIFY  \nEnable or disable verification of writing for files \nTYPE  \nDisplay the content of a file on the console \n[edit]\nOther commands\nAll commands from the interactive mode can be used in batch files; similarly, one can use batch-file commands directly on the COMMAND.COM command line, interactively. Therefore, it is impossible to separate the syntax to "interactive" or "batch" commands.\n\nBREAK  \nControls the handling of program interruption with Ctrl+C. \nCLS  \nClears the screen. \nCHCP  \nDisplays or changes the current system code page. \nCTTY  \nDefines the device to use for input and output. \nDATE  \nSet the date of the system. \nECHO  \nToggles whether text is displayed (ECHO ON) or not (ECHO OFF). Also displays text on the screen (ECHO text). \nLH, LOADHIGH  \nLoads a program into upper memory. \nLOCK  \nEnables external programs to perform low-level disk access to a volume. (Windows 95/98/Me only) \nPATH  \nDisplays or change the value of the PATH environment variable which controls the places where COMMAND.COM will search for executable files. \nPAUSE  \nHalts execution of the program and displays a message asking the user to press any key to continue. \nPROMPT  \nDisplays or change the value of the PROMPT environment variable which controls the appearance of the prompt. \nSET  \nSets the value of an environment variable ; Without arguments, shows all defined environment variables. \nTIME  \nSet the time of the system. \nUNLOCK  \nDisables low-level disk access. (Windows 95/98/Me only) \nVER  \nDisplays the version of the operating system. \n\nOn the other hand, EXTERNAL COMMANDS are those not initiated by command.com or cmd.exe, and need to have their entire folder path included for the operating system to find and then execute.

Run - means that the program installation file will not be saved on you harddrive, instead it'll be saved in your temp folder. And the installation will continue from the temp folder. The installation takes place as soon as download is complete.\n\nSave - means that you can save the program in any folder of your choice on your hard drive so that you can run the installation at any other time whenever convenient to you.\n\nBoth have their purposes. If you "SAVE", then you can use the installation file again at some other time. If you "RUN" you dont need to worry about the hassle of saving and installing at later time. \n\nwhichever works best for you. \n\ni usually run, cos downloaded programs can be downloaded again from the same website. instead of taking space on my HDD
