## Getting Started

Each Batch File (located in the [source](./source/) folder of this repository) contains a description of what it does and how to use it. 


Additionally, some of the Batch File contain a `:HELP` section that will display the description and usage when the Batch File is executed with the `/?` parameter.

To run a Batch File, simply double-click on it using Windows Explorer or run it from the command line.
