Thanks guys!

I learnt that @echo off doesn't echo the echo command.

Echo off prevents further commands from being 'echoed' to the screen. However, the first line, echo off displayed whereas when we use @echo off then it stop displaying echo off message as well as prevents further commands from being 'echoed' to the screen.

Let's Understand with a basic example. I have created two batch file one with @echo off and one with echo off.

Example 1:

@echo off

cd c:\windows

echo You are now in the windows folder in C Drive

Pause

Example:2

echo off

cd c:\windows

echo You are now in the windows folder in C Drive

Pause

Hope this Example will Help you.
