[Tip?] Batches

[David]

Obviously, if you use Linux you should be used to this already, but for PC users, the DOS commands are very powerful, efficient, and yet simple tools to speed up your workflow…

You can do a whole lot of stuff with them. I’ll just show you mine as a small example. You can base some of yours off mine too! They’re very easy to understand and make yourself. Just add the extension .bat after a notepad file instead of the .txt. 🙂

Too long..Just commented.

You can use Spybot for process killing.

And..pretty much everything on that list. xD

[David]

Spybot has a GUI and therefore takes space.

This is automated and much faster than opening up spybot, killing processes, etc.

+ this only needs to be ran once during startup. 😀

David’s a batch.
