Quick Batch

 I think you need to step up your game. In other words, you need to offer something that could be useful to a lot more people. Of course, if your goal is to write a program in batch that does something more people would want, then it's going to require more than just a few hours or days of work for you to create it. But before that even, you're going to need the idea for what you eventually create and cause the world to beat a path to your door to get. And I have, just for you, an idea to consider and do with what you please if it suits you. Here it is. First you need to know that it can be coded entirely in batch. However, because batch has certain limitations there will need to be supporting apps to perform specialized functions. In general this refers to freeware programs but it might also include programs you create in C with the help of ChatGPT, for example.   Some examples of such programs would be for mouse and keyboard input, for displaying graphics, for running macro commands, for speech output, for search and replace of files, for killing windows processes, for changing properties of the app window, etc. You will have to track down whatever supporting app you find are needed, though some may be part of Windows (taskkill.exe, certutil.exe, findstr.exe, etc.)

So here's the idea that I think might have some potential. This is an app that allows the user to create a floating "launchpad" that appears as a small, moveable window. This window will be any picture or image they choose such as their family, their pet, a building, anything at all. So one thing the app accomplishes is serving the same purpose as the pictures people keep near them when they work, like on their desk. But this is more than a picture in a window on their computer. It will be clickable such that multiple common tasks can be launched by clicking different places in the picture. Suppose the picture is of the users wife, 3 children, dog, cat and their new car. Each of these elements in the picture could be set to do a certain task when clicked.

For example, compose a message to that person, or call that person, or open a specific wib page, or play a specific song, or start a certain game, or run any useful task at all.  It puts all their everyday tasks in one place, and they decide what it will look like.  

I don't think this app would be all that hard to write in batch. It's a little complex but not overwhelming. If it appeals to you, consider it a gift from me. If not, at least maybe it will stir you to think of something greater.

To begin, I suggest finding a program in Github by PedroMagician called MessageBoxEX which can display a BMP file in a custom messagebox. You might also track down a bunch of apps written by Fatih Kodak known as CMD Tools. May not be easy to find but well worth the effort. There are many, many others to find out there that may prove useful. If nothing else, you'll learn a lot.
