Full Version: Big Difference Between Batch Files And .cmd Files
I always see the same scripts in it, so what's the big difference between them?
.bat == .cmd, according to the REGISTRY (wow, looked far for that one...)
{5e941d80-bf96-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb} (.cmd persistenthandler)
{5e941d80-bf96-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb} (.bad persistenthandler)
they both mean plain text
now for the other part... cmd is cmdfile and bat is batfile, but looking at where it points to, it is clearly exactly the same... .cmd is just name NT command line program or something, while .bat is a batch script (it's just a name, they both do exactly the same)
{5e941d80-bf96-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb} (.cmd persistenthandler)

heh, nice to know. 
Good question and good reply. I was curious myself as to the difference between a bat and cmd file.

the extension... Seriously.
Edit, i was to late, i'm stuck on something that looks to be a 25k here, lame provider. Don't use telenet.
there is no difference, bat is the old dos extension and cmd is the windows extension. But of course windows still recognizes the old bat extension
