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.

You can't just rename a batch file to .exe *Big Grin it wont ever work! =D and that "bench" is built into vista *Smile And you cant input text into another cmd window.. But if you want to open calc.exe from a batch file just type calc.exe *Smile
