`~MS-DOS Batch files easy Tutorial~`

1. Easy enough you are going to need notepad.

2. ok first there are easy commands like the once listed below

@echo " " - creates a line of text (insert desired text in to blank space, and take away quotation marks)
-i - Display GUI interface, must be the first option
-l - Log off (cannot be used with -m option)
-s - plain, old shutdown
-r - restart
-a - abort shutdown
-m \\computername - remote computer shutdown, reboot, or abort
-t xx - set countdown(insert # of seconds into xx)
-c " " - add a message to shutdown window (insert message into blank space, keep quotation marks)
-f - shutdown all applications without warning

3. These are simple commands which are good to know. Now typing what you now know u can type stuff like msg * hello which will simple bring up a windom saying hello u can change the text to anything.

4. Now to save a batch file u simple hit file then save and then put the name u want and put .bat behind it.

5. Here is an example of a quick batch file I made for an example (warning do not open this batch if u decide to make it for it will shut down your computer.)

@echo off
title Hello...
echo msgbox"How is your day going?" >C:\1.vbs
C:\1.vbs
cls
pause
echo msgbox"Well, it is about to get a lot worse..." >C:\1.vbs
C:\1.vbs
cls
@echo You computer has been hacked.
pause
@echo The inevitable has happened.
pause
@echo I will install a virus on your computer.
pause
@echo A message will pop-up shortly.
pause
echo msgbox"Virus Detected! Attepting to delete virus." >C:\1.vbs

cls
@echo All files are being corrupted by the virus now.
pause

pause
shutdown -s -t 15 -c "The system is performing a mandatory shutdown because of corrupted system files."

The hotkeys aren't working for me, like -f either does nothing or logs me off.. and -t 15 just says that -t isnt a command...

Of course I'm redoing the whole thing because I am making the website from scratch with Microsoft Expression. So I decided to make the Tutorial page just link to pages on the forums, which will be the tutorials w/o the comments and things. I have figured out how to do this on the forums with codes, but there is no point in setting it up untill that page in the website is done.

I will PM the people who currently have tutorials when I finish this, giving them instructions on how to get their tutorial set up in the new system. Remember, this won't be for a little while.
