How to Create a Batch File (.bat) in Windows

A file with the .BAT extension is a Windows batch file. It is a plain text file that contains several commands used for repetitive tasks or to execute groups of scripts one at a time.

Software of all types uses BAT files for various purposes, such as copying or deleting files, running applications, and closing processes.

They are also called scripts, batch programs, command files, and shell scripts, and may use the .CMD extension instead.
