SAM: Security Accounts Manager is a registry file in Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. It stores users' passwords in a hashed format (in LM hash and NTLM hash). Since a hash function is one-way, this provides some measure of security for the storage of the passwords.

BAT: Batch File in DOS, OS/2, and Microsoft Windows, is a text file containing a series of commands intended to be executed by the command interpreter. Batch files are useful for running a sequence of executables automatically and are often used to automate repetitive or tedious processes.
