I have written a very simple batch file that does what I want if I OK it in RUN. (How) Can I change that to an exe (?) file on the desktop which I can just double click to perform the action ?

Why not just copy your batch file to your desktop?

Or, what I do is have a directory called c:\scripts, that I added to my %PATH%. I put all my scripts in that directory then make a shortcut to the scripts I use most on my desktop. This way I can change the icon and I don't have to browse to run them.

If you are really motivated to convert to exe you could waste a few hundred hours with bat2exe, like I did 20 years ago.

If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.

I had no idea that clicking a .bat file would initiate activity. I'll try it.
