    When it comes to batch scripting I only know a few basic things and nothing about powershell. Does anyone know of a good place to start to learn ,more about this sort of thing?

    Really if you are interested in learning how to write your own scripts/code, it'd be more beneficial in the long-run to begin with a scripting language that is both modern and constantly being developed and improved upon.

    PowerShell is not a hard scripting language to learn and is a good place to start because it is also able to write code utilizing the .NET Class and wrap additional languages in these .NET Class compilers, etc.

    Visual Studio Code is a free code editor that offers a PowerShell extension for proper formatting and basic contextual error checking for written content and is a good place to start writing basic functions to get a solid grasp on how to use cmdlets that utilize pipeline arguments and the like.

    There are many free pdf books, but I guess it depends, what exactly are you looking for, what version, what functions, etc.

    I learned from @TairikuOkami, although his scripts are very comprehensive their layout is simple and easy to understand. :)

    If you have reg files you want to convert to bat/cmd use Reg Converter by Sordum.
