Putting your own pictures and sound in BATCH files

[DeltaSpider]

 This was something I kept tring todo but could not until something
clicked inside my head!
  this line in a batch file "START C:\WINDOWS\MEDIA"
SHOWED ME THE ERROR OF MY WAY!

TOYED AROUND WITH SWITCHING THE COMMAND TO CALL OTHER MEDIA AROUND AND FOUND THAT THEIR WAS A WAY TO USE THIS
"START" COMMAND TO EVEN CALL BITMAPS OR OTHER SAVED IMAGES IN A FILE ON MY HARDDRIVE IN THE "C:\WINDOWS" OR
"C:\WINDOWS\System32" file!

If anyone would like some cool tricks or have some I don't know
about in batch or DOS just drop a line with what you have to give,or what your tring to do and I will get back to you as soon as posible.

I love learning programming of all kind's but I am self tought so I'm
a little slow at it still and still having problems figuring out some stuff but I will getit with the help of all of you out their!

And at a personal note I would like to thank computerhope for their
help in all that I have learned from them in the past year of coming here to their site and all of you....

I think every microsoft computer (dunno about vista) has a thing in c:\windows called 'clock' which is an AVI animation thingy.

@echo off
start %systemroot%\clock.avi
exit

As for pictures, you could START the picture or use ascii pictures.
check them out  -->HERE<--


Save the following text file as a .bat and see what comes up

OK that was good carbondioxide
but have you tried this with your own bitmap image's

just pic your favorite picture and put it in the windows file,
now batch that file like this!!!

@echo off
start %systemroot%\.bmp
exit

put your own picture's in place of the "" but don't forget ".bmp"
at the end !!!!

hey that was a good way and I thank you for showing that trick
carbon dioxide 8-)

this is open to everyone so feel free to add to it or ask question's!

No prob DeltaSpider.

You can also have the file on the desktop and just do

@echo off
start %userprofile%\desktop\file.bmp
exit

But yours works too.

yeah you can tell I'm still new at this but I try and learn from everyone,not a master yet.... but one day I WILL BE JEDI MASTER
HA HA you have to have some humor it keep's you from going insane!

buy the way sorry for spelling your name wrong !

you would figure all the time I have been watching everyone on this site and copying their post to learn this stuff that I would at least know how to spell your handle better.

between you and Raptor I have been actualy getting some info to try and help teach my kid's and some of the children in the area .

It's a small town with nothing better to do but goto work come home and teach my kid's and other people's as well...maybe they will do something with what I teach them...from what I learn here!
