Creating a script is an order of magnitude more complex than
working with batch files.

Don??™t assume a limitation in a Windows graphical utility necessarily translates to the
command line. For example, most people realize that Windows Explorer does a very poor
job of finding content on your system. In fact, it does such a poor job that many people have
resorted to third-party products to locate information on their systems. However, a combination
of the
Dir
command and the FindStr utility can help you locate any information on
your system for free and often faster than these third-party utilities can perform the task.
Of course, you need to know how to use these command line utilities to take advantage of
this command line feature that works far better than its Windows counterpart does.

The system creates a number of environment variables for you. For example, you??™ll find that
the
OS
environment variable tells you whether you??™re using Windows as an operating system
(preventing people from using batch files intended for the Windows environment on a
DOS system). You can always list the environment variables on your system using the
SET
command.
