Introduction: Big Helpfull Batch File Menu
Hey guys, I have read some instructables and found them very inspiring so I decided to make one too! (By the way, this is all my work....thats it........)
A friend of mine wanted a "cool shortcut to everything I want, with a password"; so I spent a couple nights on this baby...
Step 1: Basics
If you are reading this, you probably have a good background with batch files, (good for you!) if not, pay attention. Open up Notepad (Text Document) and copy the following.......
@echo off
color 9
Title Password Page
:question
set /a tries=2
:top
echo Teo's Folder
echo.
echo Please Enter Password
echo.
echo ----------------------------------------------
echo %tries% attempt(s) left.
echo ----------------------------------------------
set /p pass=
if %pass%==4123 goto correct
rem !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!4123 can be substituted with anything, cause it's your password!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
set /a tries=%tries -1
if %tries%==0 goto penalty
cls
goto top
:penalty
echo Sorry, too many incorrect passwords, initiating shutdown.
start shutdown -s -f -t 300 -c "Should have asked for permission...SHUTDOWN INITIATED"
pause
exit
:Start

Step 2: Saving
After copying all that script, paste it in the Notepad/Text Document you previously opened up. Then go up to Save as and save it on your Desktop as "watever.bat".
The ".bat" part is crucial for the script to run properly. It lets your computer know how and what to save it as.
Step 3: The End
If you did it correctly a "menu looking thing" should appear and ask for a password, then if properly typed and entered another "menu looking thing" should appear and give you some options to choose from.
I am not telling you to do this, and if you do something wrong or even if you did something right and something bad still happens, I am not responsible.
On a happier note.... Please comment and criticize so I can be a better ...... instructabler. I love to talk to my readers and enjoy the conversation.
Good luck
