BatLaunch is a windows console app written in C#. When executed, it looks for
the file batlaunch.bat
in the .bat
subfolder of batlaunch.exe
and
executes it.
Motivation
I wanted to put a shortcut in the Windows Taskbar and/or the Windows Start
Screen but I could not find an easy way to do that.
Maybe a registry hack could accomplish what I wanted, but I tend to avoid
registry hacks (most of the time).
Use
- Make as many folders as you need containing
batlaunch.exe
with a.bat
subfolder. - Prepare and place your
batlaunch.bat
file in the.bat
subfolder. - Create a shortcut for
batlaunch.exe
- Name it anything you please.
- Change the shortcut icon as desired.
- Place the shorcut on either the
- Task Bar
- Windows Start Screen
- Desktop or any other folder
