1) Create your .BAT file:
DoDir.bat

dir >D:\temp\DirContent.txt

2) Right click the desktop, select "New...Shortcut".
3) Browse to the location you save the .BAT file:

D:\Temp\dodir.bat

4) Click Next
5) Click Finish
6) Double click the shortcut.
7) check for the output file:
DirContent.txt

Volume in drive D is [DELETED]
 Volume Serial Number is [DELETED]

 Directory of D:\Temp

Solution 2

If you want to run executable file from .bat script, you have to add single line:

VB

start /d "path" file.exe

More details, you'll find here: Start - Start a program - Windows CMD - SS64.com[^]

[EDIT]
If you want to add a shortcut to .bat file, follow the instruction:
1) Click right button of mouse on the desktop
2) Choose "New->Shortcut"
3) Follow the wizard
That's all!

By The Way: OriginalGriff[^] already have told how to achieve that (see points 2-5)

I know this is old thread but I am looking for the same solution. I think what he want to accomplish is to add a bat file as a lauch parameter for a specific app shortcut LNK. Like for example, When running a game like counterstrike, he wants to add a specific bat file in launch parameter to run that bat file first before running counterstrike.exe.

My solution is to edit the bat file and add a run command to the specific app you want to run and create a shortcut for that bat file using the icon of the app you wanted to run.

But as the OP wanted, it would be nice if it can be accomplish using launch parameter for that matter.

The way to do it is to:
1. Create the batch file
2. Create the batch file shortcut
3. Right-click the shortcut and select 'Properties'
4. Under the Shortcut tab change the 'Target': Add Explorer.exe in front of the batch path

Odd eh? But it works!
Another advantage of doing this is you can now pin the shortcut to the start menu and the taskbar.

This is a new way that I have never seen before. I did it today.
How it works? The lines written below are used as file names. The file extension is unimportant or may not exist at all. It is important to right-click to launch the file using Windows Powershell.
For permanent use, I doubt it, it is necessary to use a rare extension. For example, .zzz and register it as constantly opened using Powershell.

to open a directory C:\Windows

(New-Object -ComObject Wscript.Shell).Run('explorer C'+[char]58+[char]92+'Windows'+[char]92,1,'false')

to start C:\Windows\notepad.exe

(New-Object -ComObject Wscript.Shell).Run('explorer C'+[char]58+[char]92+'Windows'+[char]92+'notepad.exe',1,'false')
(New-Object -Com WScript.Shell).Exec('notepad')

to open https://github.com

(New-Object -ComObject Wscript.Shell).Run('explorer https'+[char]58+[char]47+[char]47+'github.com',1,'false')

msgBoxs

-c (New-Object -ComObject Wscript.Shell).popup('ItsFunny!',0,'☺')
-c ((New-Object -ComObject ('htmlfile')).parentWindow).alert('☺')
