re: Batch File Help? Friday, February 27, 2009 at 2:36 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Bill (5 messages posted) I think it could be done using VBScript or JScript, which are included with Windows 98. I was intrigued enough to try writing it myself, but I don't have PowerPoint, and there doesn't seem to be a simple "open file" method that will launch its associated application. It would have to be launched with a command line using the Run method. Also, I'm not certain, but after the ILOVEYOU VBScript virus hit several years ago, there may be a question whether using these languages is secure enough. If that computer isn't used to connect to the Internet or get e-mail, it might be a good way to go. Written in response to: Batch File Help?
