How to Create a Batch File

 

I just posted an article on how to install PHP in Windows Server 2008 or IIS7 that included a Batch File. I just thought that maybe some of you that are reading this don’t know how to create a batch file. So here are step by step directions on creating a batch file under Windows XP or Vista.

  1. Go to the blank desktop and right-click on it.
  2. Choose “New” then choose “Text Document”
  3. Name it whateveryouwant.bat. The “.bat” is the important part.
  4. Copy your text commands into it and save it.

Viola! You have a batch file. Now just double-click it to run it.

Happy Computing,
Tim
