I am seriously doubting that "REM actually executes the command next to it, 
just disabling it's output." 
Does it mean that  "rem del file" will silently delete the file?  :) 
:: (an empty label) is just an unofficial workaround. It was a long story 
regarding performance issues  with REM. But it happened in old Windowses 
,probably in 9X. Then "::" workaround came up. :: is also faster to type. I am 
using it, too, when, poor me, I am coding windows batches.  But, editors should 
use REM\s
