Batch command to open a program and load files into that program

Conclusion

A batch command is a command that can be used to run certain programs or applications in Windows, either through Command Prompt (CMD) or through text files with extensions.bat. Batch commands can be useful for automating some repetitive tasks, such as opening programs, changing settings, or processing files.

To open a program with a batch command, we can use the “start” command, which will run the program in a new window. To load a file into a program that we open with a batch command, we can use two ways, depending on the type of program and the file we use.

The first way is to give the location or path of the file we want to open as the third parameter after the “start” command. This usually works for programs that can accept files as arguments when run, such as Notepad, Wordpad, Paint, or VLC.

The second way is to use the “call” command, which will run a program or another batch of files from within the running batch file. The “call” command can also accept additional parameters that will be passed to the program or batch of files being called. This usually works for programs that cannot accept a file as an argument when executed, but have their commands for opening or processing files, such as MDXClient.exe.
