You need to compile source code to create an .exe

Unless you want to use batch processes, you need to think of a programming language you want to use.

allright what is the language that uses "echo" at the beginning???

i really dont know much bout this stuff =S also, what language do u have to use to make a .bat???? or is it any language???

That would be a batch script you are thinking of. A batch script is simply a bunch of (MS)DOS commands that can be easily executed many times. Now, if you wanted to display some text and open an exe file with a batch script, here's how you would do it:

@echo off
echo This is some text!
"C:\Program Files\Exe.exe"

If you want it to pause between saying the text and running the file, do this:

@echo off
echo This is some text!
pause
"C:\Program Files\Exe.exe"

Obviously you would replace "This is some text!" with what you want to say, and "C:\Program Files\Exe.exe" with the actual file you want to run.

Then, save the code (in notepad) as a .bat file. Then simply double click it, and it will run!

Any questions, just ask.

Thnx a lot!!!!!


Do u know of a page where i can find a tutorial on batch script or a page where i can find commands???

This site is a very good resource for MSDOS commands. It also has a section on batch files.

Hope that helps.
