What is the difference between CMD and BAT file ?

Hi,

Could anyone give me some advice on when to use CMD and BAT file ?

This is because we are going to run some scripts to delete the shortcuts in
desktop. We already got the command but some fellow says it should be with
BAT extension and some with CMD one.

Your advice is sought.

John
