batch job

[24giovanni]

I am trying to create a batch job on xp pro but I can't get the extension to work (.bat) as an example. Is it possible to run batch jobs on XP Pro? If so, what do I need to do to get it to work please?

TIA

Please post the contents of the file in question. Also, to make it a lot easier to work with file extensions, you can stop hiding extensions of known file types. In Windows Explorer, Tools, Folder Options, View and uncheck the option illustrated below.

Yes .bat files should run. Can you tell us how you are trying to execute it and could you post the contents of the file, maybe there is something wrong with it.
