But there's a nice trick: - Create the .bat file following the instructions above - "Hide it". Put the file on any folder you prefer (C:\Documents and Settings\YourUser\MyShortcuts for example) - And make a shortcut to the .bat file (yes, a shortcut from a shortcut :lol: )You can change the icon of the bat's shortcut as you will. karmalily wrote:
