A Batch File is a simple text file that contains a series of commands for the operating system to execute. These commands are typically written in the Windows Command Prompt language and can automate repetitive tasks, such as file management or system configuration. When the batch file is run, the commands are executed in sequence, allowing users to perform complex operations with a single click. Batch files usually have a .bat or .cmd file extension and can be created using any text editor, like Notepad. They are commonly used by system administrators and power users to streamline processes, improve efficiency, and reduce the potential for human error in executing commands.
