I created a small batch and vbscript utility which installs on windows (vista or higher) and performs all windows maintenance in one batch (clean, defrag, remove malware, update...etc). The chore was not really running the command line tools, but including all the contingencies in the batch, such as requiring admin privileges, adjusting for paths of various 32/64bit OS, installing like a gui program, and interfacing with the user a little bit. I guess then the question becomes why not use something else other than batch, but in truth I did this for fun and to aide in my desktop support job a long time ago.
Just curious what you guys think about it, if you experience any bugs, if you have any suggestions, if it would it be something useful to offer to the public, and if I should continue to work on it.
The license is currently free to use and edit for personal use.
You may download it here: (click on download)
Its malware free, and batch is not compiled, so no worries there.

Re: Maintenance batch utility
It looks like an EXE file to me.
Post the source so we can look at it.

Re: Maintenance batch utility
It's a self-extracting archive. 7-Zip could unzip it. The content is a bundle of bat and vbe files. Use an online decoder to observe the contents of the vbe files. (I had no time to do that though.)

Re: Maintenance batch utility
Yes, what aGerman said basically.
But more to the point, use 7zip, extract it. Then that .exe you see, simply open it with 7zip and extract it again.
Everything will be right there.
I would gladly upload just the contents in a zip if I could attach it here, but I cant
