Two little batch files to create a cozy WiFi hotspot from the laptop Snatched from xda-developers, yet I don't remember the thread. Kudos to the author.

Woops! I forgot to mention that it is required to share the network connected to Internet with the Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport.

netsh wlan stop hostednetwork
pause
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=SSID_NAME key=PASSWORD
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
pause

Can somebody make a bat file to share the network from Ethernet to this hotspot,
sometimes I hibernate my PC while the hotspot was on, and when I wake PC up, I have to run the bat file again to start the hotspot, then I also have to go to network connections and open properties of ethernet, go to the sharing tab and deselect sharing, press okay and select sharing again for the internet to work on my phone.

This is very irritating to do again and agin

Can we use these files from a Cpp program? just like a program to create a hotspot.
