I know that it's possible to control some things by saving it as .bat . What all can I access and control using this function? What do I type to do this? I have had people give me specific things to type, like (c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe) to access the comand prompt. Instead of giving me these exact instructions, how can I find out what to type on my own?

it's you again, with your stupid question of "Can I control my computer using HTML?"
This question is more realistic... yet still you can't control computer with a word editor... (however you can write a program like a bat file to control your computer). so please learn to express yourself correctly!!!

Anthing that you can type into the "Run" from the Start Menu you can do from a bat file. That is all the Run command does really, it runs what type as if it is a bat file. Anything you can run from an icon, you can run from a batch file. Use the same information that is in the "target" line of the icon's porperties.
You can also use all the "DOS" commands within batch files. Go to a command prompt (cmd.exe) and type in "help". It will list all the DOS commands for you. Type in any command followed by a "/?" and it will give you syntax information on that command (such as "dir /?").
Finally, if you do a Google search on "batch files" you will find information on how to program loops, variables, etc. with in batch file. Once upon a time batch files were the way all computers were run.
So welcome back to the 1970s and the wonderful world of "DOS". That was were I learned how to use computers.(Yes, I am that old....)

Not thru Notepad directly. Batch files can be created with any word processor.
You have to know the DOS language, and you have to type every character in the proper place. DOS is a tricky langauge to write.
SAVE the instruction list with a "xxxxxxxx.bat" extension in a folder or on the C:\ root, and you can execute them from some programs that have a place for that buiult in or you can go to Start > Run > and type in "cmd" then type the xxxxxxxx name and press Enter.

No..
Define Control?
Can you use it to issue commands? no.
You can write batch files but that is the extent of it.
In order to use batch files it recommends the command processor. cmd.exe.
