.CMD vs .BAT (What are these?)
*CMD files have the current version of Microsoft language while BAT has the older version of the Microsoft language.
*CMD is backward compatible while BAT is not backward compatible.
*CMD runs in most command.com scripts whereas BAT by itself will not run in command.com scripts unless made to do so.
*CMD has improved scripting because it is developed for Windows NT. BAT scripts are older version as it is developed for DOS command prompt.
*CMD is much safer than BAT file format.

Summary: For regular Windows users just use the CMD file and BAT file for those who know how it really works.
