Hello all,
I just stumbled across this page looking for instructions on creating batch files. it looks like you guys have a nice community and so i decided to try it out.

my reason for posting is i am trying to create a message window within windows xp with notepad. i used to do it all the time but now i have forgotten the FILE EXTENSION used.

can anyone HELP me out?

Thanks in advance.

The file extension for a batch file?  .bat. I know the file extention for a batch file, but i could have sworn it was some other type of file.
I will look further into then...

Thanks!.cmd is the other extension for batch files.  That's only for NT-based OSes, though (NT, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 2008)ok, I looked it up some and am still not satisfied although thanks for the help thus far.

I figured out how to generate messageboxs but only with .net commands but I have that service turned off and I will not turn it on.

so how do I generate a messagebox without using .net commands?

Thanks again.Messagebox? Something like this?

CODE: [Select]msg * Textgod....

Thank you.
All right. One more question then I will leave this thread alone:

How can I create a message box without having the "message from [username]  [current date & time]" come up in the title bar? Or is this possible?

Thank you so much for your help.Sorry, this topic seems to have slipped.

Anyways, no, I don't think there is any way to change that title.
