What are some examples of batch files?

Batch files are scripts that automate tasks in Windows. Common examples include file backups, system updates, and launching applications.

Can you show me a simple batch file example?

Sure! Here's a simple batch file that copies files from one folder to another:

@echo off
xcopy C:\source\* C:\destination\ /s /i

What does the '@echo off' command do?

The '@echo off' command prevents the commands in the batch file from being displayed in the command prompt when the script runs.

How can I schedule a batch file to run automatically?

You can use the Windows Task Scheduler to schedule a batch file. Just create a new task and set the trigger and action to run your batch file.
