Batch Scripts in XP Always Infinite Loop??

[rickrolled]

I have a handful of very basic batch scripts (for example, one defrags a hard drive and in a folder called BATCH. I put the folder in system32 and added it to the path. When I double click on the script it opens a cmd.exe window but then just continually prints the path that I was in and the name of the script. So it just continually prints something like this:

C:\system32\BATCH>defrag c:

I am pretty sure it does this with all of my scripts.

However, I could be wrong about that, so I'll post what my defrag and shutdown script is:

defrag c:

shutdown -s -t 00

If I just open a cmd.exe window and type in defrag c: it works. I tested just the defrag c: part in a script on another Windows machine and it behaves the same way (I didn't run the script from the path when testing on the other machine though)

Thanks.

I seem to remember this happening with other scripts, but strangely enough, all I did was change "defrag c:" to "defrag.exe c:" and it started working correctly.

So the problem is resolved?

What is the script's name and extension, b.t.w.?
