batch files

[George Whiston]

I want to make my win98 batch files work in winXP (home)
In win98 I could create a shortcut to a batch file (or
click on it and run it off the icon). It doesn't work in
winXP, except if I paste in the contents in the command
line window

(better window than win98!)

[sqr]

copy the contents of the batch file to notepad and save as "whatever.bat"
the same as 98!
