bat file - what is it for?

[casper101]

Can someone please help me.... Not sure what it does and/or what it is used for. Is it supposed to be on my computer? Is it a system file?

What are these .bat file for?

@echo off

REM this will be executed during cmdlines.txt time.

cd\

if not exist C:\hp\bin\WaitandDelete.jse goto end

if exist %AppDir% WScript C:\hp\bin\WaitandDelete.jse %AppDir% /wait:1 //b

if exist %CurDir% WScript C:\hp\bin\WaitandDelete.jse %CurDir% / wait:1 //b

:end

ALSO have another "install.bat" file

REM @ECHO OFF

REM remove the audit mode setting from oobeinfo.ini

Python %AppDir%\TurnOffAudit.py

REM Remove Fullscreen from firstboot.txt

C:\HP\BIN\AUTOMODE32 /REMOVE c:\hp\bin\FirstBoot.TXT "c:\hp\bin\FullScreen.exe close

C:\HP\BIN\AUTOMODE32 /REMOVE c:\sysprep\i386\$OEM$\CMDLINES.TXT

"c:\hp\bin\Fullscreen.exe close

REM Add a line to cmdlines.txt

C:\HP\BIN\AUTOMODE32 add c:\hp\bin\FirstBoot.txt ""C:\hp\bin\cloaker.exe

C:\hp\bin\commands /lw:c\hp\bin\cleanup_bb\lg.ini /c /ww

C:\hp\bin\cleanup_bb\cleanup_bb.bat""

C:\HP\BIN\AUTOMODE32 /add c:\sysprep\i386\$OEM$\CMDLINES.TXT ""C:\hp\bin\cloaker.exe

C:\hp\bin\commands /lw:c:\hp\bin\cleanup_bb\lg.ini /c /ww

C:\hp\bin\cleanup_bb\cleanup_bb.bat""

REM finish up by appending the command for closing the full screen

C:\HP\BIN\AUTOMODE32 / ad c:\hp\bin\firstboot.TXT ""c:\hp\bin\FullScreen.exe close""

C:\HP\BIN\AUTOMODE32 / add c:\sysprep\i386\$OEM$\CMDLINES.TXT

""c:\hp\bin\FullScreen.exe close""

REM rename oobe.bb to oobe.bat

ren c:\sysprep\oobe.bb c:\sysprep\oobe.bat

I am going crazy trying to figure this out. I always get wary when I see cloaker.exe. I thank you so much!

Just HP automating your windows install, nothing to worry about.

If you look in the msfn unattended guide section, you can see how it works.
