How do i change a .txt file to a .bat file?

Hi,

A bat file is a text file, just a special sort, one that has executable instructions in it.

You can rename files with a .bat extension to have a .txt extension and vice versa (right click and then choose Rename). To rename you may need to make extensions visible...

• In Control Panel/Folder Options click the View tab
• Untick the box for 'Hide extensions for known file types'
• Click OK

You can open either with a text editor such as notepad, though a .bat file may have to be right clicked and then choose the Edit option rather than Open (Open means execute the code in the bat file).

You can 'Save As' in a text editor such as notepad, in either format, by specifying the extension explicitly.

Tricky

Open the notepad. Type all the commands that you wish you write.

go to File -> save as -> under save as type select "All files"

now type the name with extension .bat example : example.bat and click on save. That should do it.Let us know.
