This may be OT, but I didn't know where else to ask.

I have created a few batch files each of which I want to automate a
series of different DOS actions appropriate to a selection from a menu
within XP. The batch files execute flawlessly as a run command, one
batch file at a time.

Example batch file (copies a file from CD/DVD disk to C hard drive):

MD C:\FOLDER-NAME-1
CD C:\FOLDER-NAME-1
MD C:FILE-NAME-1
CD C:FILE-NAME-1
COPY FOLDER-NAME-1\FILE-NAME-1\*.* C: /Y

EXIT

Now then, can anyone suggest how I can create a menu in XP to select
the batch file a user wants to run? I would then want to put said
menu on a CD or DVD for my kids to then use,

Google is your friend. The very first hit under
batch file commands
was

Scroll down to "Menu creation".
