.bat question

[Lingrah]

So does a .bat file just type whatever it's contents are into CMD?

 

If so, what should I type into it to make it launch a specific webpage on google chrome (ie LTT)

Yes that is correct.

 

If so, what should I type into it to make it launch a specific webpage on google chrome (ie LTT)

start http://linustechtips.com/

That will open the site using the default browser set in windows.

A Batch (bat) file is executed by being passed to a command line interpreter, basically the middle man from .bat instructions to CMDlets.

 

To execute a webpage, just use the "start http://url.com",if you want it to use a browser that isn't the default I think the syntax is as listed below:

start http://www.google.com "C:\Pathtochrome.exe"
