Don't bother with this as you shouldn't bother with a computer that has a Windows Operating System on it.
Sorry, for those who still enjoy using Windows products.
Seriously, though, this book is quite a bit outdated.

Good introduction to batch scripting. The book has some good examples and it's easy to read.
