BatLaunch

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
