Windows 10: Media / Batch Files

Hello Microsoft, and other people viewing this post / question. There is no possible way (except with SOUND.exe, only compatible with old versions of Windows) to run media without the media player showing up. Microsoft, if you're reading this, if you make another version of Windows, which I think you should because your OSs are the best, the thing I wish for most is to be able to play music in a batch file without the media player showing up. Another thing for Microsoft, I was thinking of working for you guys someday. In Windows 11 or Microsoft Codename [Whatever], there should be a feature for that. Or could you please make an update for Windows 10 that has that feature?

Don't use batch files very much but one I find useful is for creating a list of files in a directory.
Just copy the text below into Notepad and save as Filelist.bat

dir /a /-p /o:gen >filelist.txt

When you run it from a folder it will create a Filelist.txt file,in the same folder, that lists all the files in that folder.Useful when you are too lazy to type all the files out yourself.

Batch file to ping network

No, batch files are extremely easy.

A "If" requires three extra steps.

Code is not how much you can put in, but how lite can you make it and still perform the functions.

So

@ echo off


ping 1.4.1.4 >a.txt

findstr /m "Request timed out" a.txt
if %errorlevel%%==0 (
echo Save our nets!!!
)

pause
