Title: .bat that opens all .bat files in the subfolders of its folder
Post by: Sir.Laggalot on August 25, 2007, 08:23:12 PM

The subject pretty much tells it all

I am working on Windows XP, I would prefer not to download any thing and it would be nice for you to explain how it works if you can.

I am Working on a bat which will hide files within the folder it is in. I want a master bat to open all of them at once.

It would also be nice if it could do this with the bats being hidden.

And you want to....open all those files at once?

Hi, I hope this will help you out.

You can use the ATTRIB command to protect as well as hide all the files inside any directory.

you can use this command to hide.

ATTRIB +s +r +h *.*

In order to run each .bat file you can use CALL batchfilename.bat command in master batch file to run individual batch files.

In fact you can also use START batchfilename.bat command to start a new window for running batch files.
