    Hello,

    I have recently been exploring command prompt and found it to be extremly useful, mainly for making my usb key bootable with windows 7.iso

    However, to do this is a little long winded, and i was wondering...

    Is it possible for me to write either a .bat or .exe to run the list of commands in command promt i would usually write in myself?

    If so what would be better to write it as? a .bat or .exe

    If it is possible, a little insight on how to would be nice.

    Thanks in advance.
    Pegasis.

    If you have just plain commands and simple conditionals, use .bat since they are faster to maintain. Executables for anything more advanced that one couldn't implement easily with batch files.
