I would like some utility that will allow me to convert batch files to a format that I can map to a shortcut key. I have tried: bat2exec and TurboBat, which convert them to .com or .exe files with no success. Is there anything that will convert them to .vbs or anything that would work?
Well I've tried that method lots of times with no success, but I just tried again and it worked. I don't know what I did wrong. I think usually I have "echo off" on the first line however this time I didn't and it worked. So go figure.
After further testing, if I put the shortcut on my desktop and then set it to have a shortcut key value it works, but it only does what I want on the desktop. No matter where I am at, what directory, when I hit the shortcut key it does it to the desktop.
So, what I want to do is create a batch file that creates five directories. I use the "md" command and then I try to map it to a shortcut key, but it doesn't work. Any advice?
