How can I “comment-out” a section in a batch file?
The REM statemen
This is the most common way to write comments. Any line in your bat-file that starts with REM is completely ignored by the command-processor.
REM This bat-file moves all files in C:Incoming to C:ToProcess

Double Colons
Alternatively you can replace the word REM by two colons. This style of comments is not very common, so I would suggest to stay clear from it.
