in batch file abc bat  cd c  user ben dchost documents  executible exe -flag1 -flag2 -flag3    I am assuming that your executible exe is present in c  user ben dchost documents  I am also assuming that the parameters it takes are  -flag1 -flag2 -flag3   Edited   For the command you say you want to execute  do   cd C  Users Ben Desktop BGInfo  bginfo exe dc bginfo bgi pause   Hope this helps

You can use  start      USERPROFILE  Desktop BGInfo bginfo exe    USERPROFILE  Desktop BGInfo dc bginfo bgi    or  start     D   USERPROFILE  Desktop BGInfo  bginfo exe dc bginfo bgi   or    USERPROFILE  Desktop BGInfo bginfo exe    USERPROFILE  Desktop BGInfo dc bginfo bgi    or  cd  D   USERPROFILE  Desktop BGInfo  bginfo exe dc bginfo bgi   Help on commands start and cd is output by executing in a command prompt window help start or start    and help cd or cd      But I do not understand why you need a batch file at all for starting the application with the additional parameter  Create a shortcut    lnk  on your desktop for this application  Then right click on the shortcut  left click on Properties and append after a space character   USERPROFILE  Desktop BGInfo dc bginfo bgi  as parameter
