How to Add an Icon to a Batch File
Batch files, files with the BAT extension, are executable files that run on a Windows computer. System administrators add a batch file, so users can double-click the file on the desktop and execute code. Administrators use these files to automate settings, so users do not need to know how to set up the desktop. When adding a batch file to the desktop, it makes the file easier to locate when you add an icon to the file.
