Been a while since my DOS days, but here's what I have done: 1) Click Start, then Run, then type in "command." This will give you a dos prompt. 2) Decide what you want your batch file to be named and where you want it, (for example, you want to name it "newfile" and you want it in the c:\windows directory) then type command "edit c:\windows\newfile.bat." Remember whatever you name it you want it to have the .bat extension. 3) Type in the commands you want run with a return after each one. For example if you want to write a batch file to start Freecell and Wordpad (dumb, I know, but just for the sake of illustration), you would type:
c:\windows\freecell c:\program files\accessories\wordpad 4) Click File, Save. 5) Click File Exit. 6) Type "exit" and hit the enter key. You should now be out of your dos window. 7) To finish, you may want to find your new batch file "newfile.bat," right click on it, select Properties, then click on the Program tab, then check the box "Close on exit" so the dos window will close after the batch file has run. You may, of course, want to also put a shortcut to the file on your desktop. I think I have covered it; I am sure someone will let me know if I haven't!
