# Windows

## Bacth Script
You can write Windows scripts using batchfile that are DOS / [CMD](https://ss64.com/nt/) lines for windows. For more advance features, the best is still to use PowerShell.

## Installing files
To start a `.exe` file you can either use `start` to start it or use use its `name.exe` to install it.
Get [help](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc770297(v=ws.11).aspx) on the [start](https://ss64.com/nt/start.html) command:

```batch
start /?
```
## Autorun
When plugin something from a computer, you can have [default action](https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/disable-autoplay-in-windows-vista/). One of them is reading the `autorun.inf` file which have instruction to start softawre (DVD -> launching the movie, CD -> launching the software or music, and all). Be careful some malicious softwares can be run too.

Inside your `autorun.int` :
```python (for colouring)
[autorun]
open = application_to_start.bat
```

## CMD 101

For some of the necessary command:

```dos
F: # Go to drive F:
CD C:\folder # Like linux to go inside C:\folder
DIR # list what's inside the directory
REN *.xyz *.txt # Rename file
XCOPY *.txt C:\folder\ # Copy file from a folder to another
MOVE C:\folderA\* C:\folderB # Move content of folderA under folderB
```

A couple of trips:

- In windows, paths are made using `\` back slash.
- To get help on a command use `\?`.
