The ms backup program in dos receives the setting from what files?
The MSBACKUP program in DOS receives its settings from the setup file. This setup file features a .set extension and is created after you make file selections and configure backup settings.
While most people today would probably think MS-DOS is something really complicated and hard to use, it is based upon simple concepts, and day to day use is extremely simple, once the initial system is set up. To launch a program, all you need to do is type its name. The program will then launch. Depending on the program, it may have all of the other features you'd expect to find in a more modern GUI. The hardest aspect of MS-DOS is probably memory management, but this is not something a typical user needs to fiddle with too much.

No need for a batch file, the following commands will do it:
CD folder
FOR /F %i IN (files.txt) DO DEL %i /P /F /S
The CD command sets the current folder. All deletions will occur in the specified folder and its sub-folders.
The files.txt file must be a list of file names (wildcards permitted) with one file name per line. If this file does not reside in the current folder you must specify the fully-qualified path or the relative path (relative to the current folder).
The FOR loop essentially executes the DEL command for each file in files.txt. The DEL command line switches are:
/P (prompt for confirmation before deleting each file)
/F (force delete read-only files)
/S (recurse through sub-folders of the current folder).
To suppress prompting, remove /P but add /Q (quiet mode) to suppress prompting on global wildcards. For more help on this, enter DEL /? at the command prompt. For more help on the FOr command, type FOR /? at the command prompt.
If used in a command script (.cmd) or batch file (.bat), replace %i with %%i. The only real advantage of using a batch file (other than to save a bit of typing) is that you can also pass the root folder and the file containing your file list as parameters (identified by %1, %2, etc).

What is the difference between the BIOS and a device driver?
Well,the basic input/output system (BIOS) on a computer is a simple yet important program on a personal computer (PC) that helps the computer properly boot and run an operating system (OS) during startup.
