Batch files are used for custom jobs that require some simple scripting in order to string together a series of commands. Jobs requiring batch files might include large file copies, file searches, etc. which take a long time to complete. Add an audible indication at the end of the batch file to notify you when it is complete by playing a .wav or similar media file. This is very simple to accomplish if you have Windows Media Player, and a compatible audio file, installed in your \windows folder. To do this:

1. Locate the file in Windows Explorer.

2. Right-click on the file and select Edit.

3. Click at the end of the line on which you want to add the command.

4. Hit [Enter] to create a new line.

5. Add the following command: mplayer /play /close soundfile.ext

6. Save the file.
