Monero is a brand new crypto that you can only mine with your CPU.
Because it is the beginning, it is very lucrative and you can make decent money.
Here is how to do...

A - HOW TO MINE

Be sure that you use monero.crypto-pool.fr:5555 as a pool because some other pools doesn't have payout setup yet !

10 ) Save the text as launch.bat
or simply exit and save then rename your text file with .bat extension.

C - HOW TO CHECK WALLET


To check your wallet, open bitmonerod.exe

Wait for bitmonerod to sync.
You'll notice that it can take hours so if you don't want to wait, exit bitmonerod and download the blockchain here :
https://mega.co.nz/#!LZBz0Agb!DSx6UV1FzVoQypseSGLRaEoBbrKehWZaSRqoNZnnGVQ

Extract the blockchain in the folder
C:\Users\you\AppData\Roaming\bitmonero (Replace you by the name of the current user on windows)
http://i.snag.gy/Ak8f6.jpg

Keep bitmonerod open and open simplewallet.exe

Type refresh to refresh the wallet

Type balance to check your balance after a refresh

Type save to save your balance

Type exit to save and exit simplewallet

If you don't wait for bitmonerod to sync, simplewallet will tell you Error: refresh failed: daemon is busy. Please try later. Blocks received: 0

Always type exit to leave bitmonerod or the blockchain will not be saved.
