Batch File

This repository contains multiple Batch scripts that solve real-world problems, automate tasks, and demonstrate core concepts like:

• File and folder management
• User interaction with set /p
• System utilities (shutdown, restart, etc.)
• Networking commands
• Automation tricks and hidden Windows commands

I regularly update this repository with new projects, so consider starring ⭐ it to stay up to date.

• Each file is self-contained and well-commented for easy understanding.
• Each file contains the main script in a batch. Some others include the single-command.bat file, which contains the same script, but is slightly different. To run as a single command.

📌 It is useful when used as a clickable shortcut.

• Example:

1. Create a shortcut anywhere on your computer

2. Add the following script as the target of the shortcut.

   	cmd.exe /v:on /c "set /p t=Enter minutes to shutdown (Enter=now, x=cancel): & if /i "!t!"=="x" (shutdown /a) else if "!t!"=="" (shutdown /s /t 0) else (set /a s=!t!*60 >nul & shutdown /f /s /t !s!)" & pause

3. [optional] Download & Add the BatchScriptProjects/Shutdown-Timer/custom-icon.ico as the custom icon of the shortcut.

4. [In some projects, it is required] Go to the properties of the shortcut >> Advanced >> Run as Administrator >> Ok >> Ok

5. Use it by clicking it; now you have a simple and useful shutdown timer program.
